AVEVA Workflow Management Forms and Lists help to create user interfaces and entities respectively for business process management applications. Forms and lists form the foundation of a business application, and integrate with workflows for managing the business processes.

Forms

Designing the user interface is one of the most important aspects of developing a business application. Use web-based forms to easily create complex user interfaces with responsive design and cross-browser compatibility. Forms integrate with lists and workflows to enable rapid deployment of business applications.

  • Create rich browser-based forms and use folders to organize forms.
  • Import and export forms as XML documents and save specific versions of forms to keep track of changes.
  • Design intricate forms using the simple drag-and-drop forms designer with advanced set of controls, and use layouts to organize controls on forms.
  • Preview and publish forms across platforms and devices with a native look and feel for mobile devices.
  • Secure forms by defining rights assigned to forms or set of forms grouped under folders.
  • Generate dynamic list forms and associate forms to workflows to trigger workflows and pass data.
  • Populate options through scripts for Check Box, Drop-Down, Radio Button, and List controls.
  • Add validation checks and interactivity to forms using the dedicated script editor with client-side JavaScript.
  • Achieve fast and fluid application performance with optimized client-side code execution

Lists

Entities are the building blocks of business applications. Use lists to easily create complex business entities. Lists are mapped to single or multiple SQL tables. Lists also integrate with forms and workflows to enable rapid deployment of business applications.

  • Create rich browser-based lists and use folders to organize lists.
  • Import and export lists as XML documents.
  • Design functional lists using the simple drag-and-drop lists designer with basic set of controls.
