Creating a New Form

In a business process, forms help to collect data from users and allow users to carry out actions (approving, denying, editing) on existing form data. New forms can be created from within the process designer or form designer.

The following sections show you a few different ways to create a new form. After you've created the form, add fields to it by dragging and dropping fields from the left pane onto the form canvas.

From the Properties Pane of a User Task
