Sporting a similar look and feel as the similar to Form Builder, the Datalist Builder offers an intuitive way of constructing a list of cumulative field values from all workflow process instances associated with the chosen selected form. In other words, any time a user fills out a form, a row is added/updated in the database table associated with the that form, and that the data is presented in a Datalistdatalist.

To start, under 'Select Binder' choose the Form Data Binder. Under 'Select Form', choose the form from which you would like to use to build the Datalistdatalist.

Once you specify have specified the source, you can drag-and-drop columns into the Design Content Paneto the design content pane. Note that the columns are from the table associated with the form chosen you have selected for the Datalistdatalist. Any column listed in normal, non-italicized text (e.g., such as 'Date Created' or 'ID') is a field present on contained in the selected form for this Datalist. Columns that are listed in italicized text such as (e.g., 'finalInsuranceInfo') are columns that are in the table , but are not fields present on in the selected form for this Datalist. Remember that other forms may have been assigned to the same table, hence which is why these those other columns appear when after you selected the select a form. Either way, you can select either the non-italicized (form fields) or the italicized (other columns) to add into your Design Content Paneto your design content pane

Dragging filters to the top section of the page allow allows users with access to this Datalist the ability datalist to filter or search by the filters placed in that section.
