When would I use Live Forms?

You can create or update existing Confluence pages, as well as merge form submission data into an existing Confluence page.

 also provides the ability to create Approval Workflows such as Vacation Request (employee requests vacation; manager approves it via a digital signature),  Patient Referral (Assistant fills in an e-form with patient/insurance information; Doctor must digitally sign it before sending to the hospital), Student Enrollment etc. These workflows are fully integrated with the logged-in Confluence user.
