to store the form data during a workflow process. The Joget core automatically creates the table and assigns a name to it (i.e., 'app_fd_mytablename'). You can choose to specify a table name that already exists; new columns will be added to that table when you build your form. We will discuss more of this later on. | |
Description | Description of the purpose that the form serves. |
There are many different form fields (i.e., TextField, SelectBox, Hidden Field, etc.) to choose from when your are designing your forms. You can drag-and-drop them on your form canvas and then edit their properties.
