Each designer user in a  tenant can create, edit, and delete his or her own spaces. You can share the URL to a space with others inside or outside your organization.

If you share a space, you are essentially creating a website — anyone who has the URL can view the space. Whether or not someone can actually open a form or flow and use it depends on the Visibility property of the form. A form or flow must be Public for anyone to use it. An outside user will be blocked if he attempts to open a non-public form, and may even lose his session credentials with the space. Forms/flows must be deployed to production for them to automatically appear in an application tab menu. If the visibility of a form is restricted to a specific role via the ACL feature, the form/flow will not appear on the space menu unless the logged in user has been assigned that role or they are the designer. 

Notice the First and Last Names of the logged in user appear in the upper right corner.

Create a New Space

When you create a space,  creates a tab on the space for each of your applications — and also adds Task List, My Account, Shared Items, Home and Login/logout tabs. Refer to the Space Content topic. The application tabs display a list all of all deployed forms/flows in that application; undeployed forms and flows are not included. For testing purposes, forms/flows with a visibility setting of private are added to the space menu if the user is logged in as a designer. A form/flow with a visibility set to public in tenant, cannot be accessed unless the user logs in to the  tenant. If the visibility of a form/flow is restricted to a specific role via the ACL feature, the form/flow and it's associated tab will not appear on the space menu unless the logged in user has been assigned that role or they are the designer. If an application has no forms/flows,  doesn't create a tab for it. 

You create a new space from the spaces home page.

1. Log in as the designer, and then click on Spaces  .
2. Click to create a new space, enter a Space ID. The Space ID must be unique, start with a letter, cannot contain spaces or special characters and cannot exceed 16 characters. Non-ascii characters are not supported in a space id.
3. Enter a Space Name - this name will display in the top right section of the space. The Space Name should not exceed 16 characters but you can type spaces here.
4. Click Create.

The new space is added to the list.

The spaces home page lists any spaces that you've already created. On this page, you can:

• Click  to create a new space.
• Click  to delete an existing space.
• Click  to edit a space.
• Click  to test a space. 
• Click to share a space. 

Relative URLs

Menu items are created using URLs relative to the application root, i.e. /frevvo/web/… The use of Relative URLs can help avoid issues that might be cause by hardcoded hosts, protocols (http vs https) and ports and improves portability. It is the recommended best practice to use Relative URLs when Adding a Tab and Forms/Flows to the Space menu.

When you create a new space, you will see:

* Important Items
** Task List|/frevvo/web/tn/mycompany/subject/(subject.id)/tasks?embed=true
** My Account|/frevvo/web/tn/mycompany/subject/(subject.id)/profile?embed=true&edit=true
** Shared Items|/frevvo/web/tn/mycompany/subject/(subject.id)/shared?embed=true&hidenav=true
*HR
** Expense Report|/frevvo/web/tn/mycompany/u/8aa27da6-4bef-427c-92e3-6ad8d58e506a/space/v73space/home?embed=true

instead of

** My Account|https://app.frevvo.com:443/frevvo/web/tn/mycompany/subject/{subject.id}/profile?embed=true&edit=true

You may also notice that Share links for the Important items now show parenthesis instead of curly braces. You will see the parentheses in any newly created space. Tomcat 8.5 doesn't allow curly braces in URLs since they are not valid URL chars and deemed a security vulnerability. Live Forms currently supports parenthesis as well as curly braces, however, support for curly braces {} will be dropped in a future releases . Use parenthesis () moving forward.

Edit a Space

Click  to display your space in the space editor. The editor displays your space as it will appear if you share it with others. The editor also includes a Properties panel at the left of the space, a toolbar at the top with Finish and  Cancel icons, and editing tools you can use for the three panels in the body of the space, the logo area, and the application and Task List tabs.

Edit Space Properties

Use the Properties panel to edit the the space Name, choose a different Width, or apply a style to the space. If you change any of the properties,  refreshes the space so you can see your changes.

Show/Hide the Login/Logout Link

It is possible to hide the login/logout link in a space. You may want to do this if your users are accessing a  space through your own portal using your own authentication system and the login/logout function is handled external to frevvo.

The Login link checkbox is checked by default so when you create a new space the login link is visible. To hide it, uncheck the Login link checkbox. 

The Login link will be checked when migrating Spaces from previous versions of .

Edit the Panels and Logo

You can edit all three panels in your space, and you can show or hide the left panel and bottom panel. You can also remove or replace the logo. The logo filename can contain up to 50 characters.

• Click to edit a panel, upload a graphic file to use as a logo, or to edit the application tabs.
• Click  to remove the logo.
• Click to either hide or show the left and bottom panels. When hidden, the editor displays the panels grayed out.

When you edit a panel,  displays its contents. You can add your own content and format it using HTML tags.

Modifying the Default Copyright Panel

The designer can modify the default copyright notice located in the bottom panel. The default content is:

Your Copyright Notice. All rights reserved.
You can edit this content in the designer.

Click the  icon to edit the content. 

Click the  icon to hide the panel.

Changing the Default logo

To replace the logo, browse for the graphic file you want. Click the Finish icon when you're done.

Adding a Tab and Forms/Flows to the menu

Click to edit the application tabs. You can use the editor shown below to add, delete, or rearrange the tabs in your space, and add or remove forms or flows from the drop-down tab menus. The editor uses this format:

• Text that begins with a single asterisk is a tab name — * Human Resources is a tab name.
• Text that begins with two asterisks is a form or flow name — ** Expense Report is a form or flow name.

To add a new tab, type its name and begin it with a single asterisk. Use two asterisks for a form or flow name. Notice that a form or flow name is followed by a URL that identifies it. For example, the full entry for the Human Resources > Expense Statement form in this example is:

** Expense Statement|http(s)://<server>:<port>/frevvo/web/tn/mycompany.com/u/8aa27da6-4bef-427c-92e3-6ad8d58e506a/app/_N4cF4ZuwEeCwk5wyBHqHrQ/flowtype/_g6-MkJu5EeCwk5wyBHqHrQ?_method=post&embed=true

To add a form or flow name to a tab, you'll need its URL. Follow these steps:

1. On the applications home page, click to edit the application that contains the form or flow you want to add.
2. Click the button to open the Share Form panel for the form you want.
3. Click Raw form link to display the raw URL.
4. Copy the URL, then in the tab editor, type a | character after the form name. Paste the form's URL after it.
5. Click Finish to update the tab menus.

Forms/Flows displayed on the Space menu will only show the forms/flows which the logged in user is authorized to view. 

How to Locate a Form or Flow using the Share URL

Let's say you  created a Space or added a form/flow to your space and now you must find that form or flow to make changes to it. The Share URL for a form/flow can be used to determine the Live Forms designer account where a form/flow is located.

Test a Space

Click  to test a space. The space is displayed as it will look to anyone you gave its URL to. If a user has the correct credentials, he can fill out and submit forms and flows. Close the window when you're done testing.

Share a Space

Click  to share a space.  displays your space's URL — this is the link you distribute to those who you want to view your space. Remember, whether or not someone can actually open a form or flow and use it depends on the Visibility property of the form.

You may use either an http or https Space URL. However if you use https to access the Space then all the forms/flows in the space must also have https URLs. And if you use http to access the Space then all the forms/flows must all have http URLs. Spaces do not support a mix of http and https.

You may notice a slight difference when logging into a Space. When you access your space with the Share URL, then click the Login tab, the whole screen becomes the login screen. Enter your credentials to view your space.

Space Content

Your space contains links for your users to easily access any forms and flows your designers created in your tenant. Your space also automatically contains the following:

• Task List
• My Account
• Shared Items
• Home
• Operational Reports - Active Processes, Submission Failures, Recent Submissions, Productivity. These Reports are only accessible to the tenant admin and users with the role frevvo.Reports. Refer to Operational Reports in a Live Forms Space for information about the links to these reports and spaces.
• Login/Logout - You can hide this tab if you choose.

To manually add these and other useful features to your space, follow the instructions described in detail below.

• Form/Flow Submissions View or Edit.
• Home Link
• My Account  link
• Anonymous signup form
  
  

Adding the Task List

The Task List link is automatically added to the tab called "Important Items" when you create a space. If you delete it from the menu and need to added it back, add this link:

* Important Items
** Task List|/frevvo/web/tn/<your tenant name>/subject/(subject.id)/tasks?embed=true

Adding Form/Flow Submissions

Spaces can also contain form submissions. Copy/Paste the Shared Item URL and append the URL paramenter ?embed=true&hidenav=true. Here is a tab menu item link for Shared Items:

 Shared Items|/frevvo/web/tn/<your tenant name>/subject/(subject.id)/shared?embed=true&hidenav=true

The user must log into the space to see the shared items. And once logged in they will only see submissions for the forms and flows to which they have been granted either submission view or edit permission. The designer configures these permissions using the Access Control wizard. If a user is not authenticated to view the form/flow submissions, then the error message "Access Denied. Authentication Required." will display.

An alternate method of adding shared submissions to your spaces is to add the URL directly to each form/flow as shown in the example below. To do this:

1. Right click the Submissions button for the form or flow submissions you want to add to your space
2. Append ?embed=true to that URL
3. Add that URL to your space menu as shown below.

Note that the server host and port, tenant name, username, application and formtype/flowtype ID will be different then the sample show below as they are specific to your particular form or flow's submissions.

Adding a My Account link

You can add a link to the user's My Account page. This page lets the user change their password, email address and configure task notification emails. Here is the tab menu item for My Account:

** My Account|/frevvo/web/tn/<your tenant name>/subject/(subject.id)/profile?embed=true&edit=true

Adding an Anonymous Signup form link

You can add the URL to an anonymous signup form for your tenant. Users can create a user account in your tenant using this published registration URL. The  designer does not have to create the form, the URL shown below accesses the Add User Anonymous Register form included with . When this form is submitted, the user receives an activation email which enables the account.  

You must check Anonymous Users in your tenant to take advantage of this feature. Also, there is an invisible control on this form which requires the tenant name. The form will not submit if this field is left blank. Append the  _data parameter to initialize the control with your tenant name: 

Cloud Customer:

* My Reports|<FREVVO_REPORTS>

      6. Save your changes.

Locale Preference for Spaces

Space URLs, appended with a locale parameter,  take precedence over locales appended to individual forms/flows in the space. As expected, if no locale parameter for the space is found, the browser setting is used.

Default Spaces

A default space can be set for the tenant. Once a default space is selected, task notification links will direct the user to the task and/or Task List rendered in the space (rather than in the tenant.) Default spaces must be set by tenant admins. Click here to learn more.

Spaces and Mobile Devices

You do not have to use Spaces to access your mobile forms but it is a convenient way to do so. Simply bookmark the space URL on your mobile device to access it. You can add icons to your forms and flows which will display on mobile devices when you access the space. Spaces can be a valuable tool for testing your forms/flow on the iPhone and iPad. 

Refer to the Employee On Boarding  tutorial for more information on Spaces and mobile forms design. 

Of course, you can still embed your forms and flows in your own internet.
