Menus tab

On this tab you can configure the list of menus and forms that will be displayed on the Web UI.

This tab contains a toolbar and a box with a Menu/Form tree.

Menu/Form tree

The tree represents a tree that will be displayed on the Web UI. Each node of the tree can be either a menu or a form.

A menu is an element that is used for grouping other elements. It can contain other menus and forms. You can restrict the access to a menu, this will also restrict the access to all its submenus and forms.

A form corresponds to a web form element on the Web UI that allows users to attach documents, enter data associated with the documents and send them to the process server.

A form on the Web UI contains:

  • A list of fields (metadata) that will be associated with the documents.
  • A document section in which the user can select a list of documents that will be sent to the workflow server.

The tree supports copying elements by grabbing a menu or a form and dragging it to a new location in the tree.

You can open the context menu on an element of the tree by right-clicking it. Besides the options that allow the user to manage the tree view, the context menu provides the following key options:

Option Description
Add This option allows adding new elements into the tree and provides the same possibilities as the Add button of the toolbar.
Save as Template This option allows the user to save a configured form as a template. This opens the Save Form as Template dialog box.

This option is available only for forms.
