Build an MFP Scan Create New Job form

An MFP Scan Create New Job form not only creates the job but also enables documents to be scanned and associated with the job. You can only create the Tablet version (default) of the form. The Embedded Page and File Upload controls are not available for a Scan Create New Job form.

Generate a Scan Create New Job form on one or more processes. The generated form has the following format, such as <LoanApproval_MFPScan>, where LoanApproval is the process name. You can generate more than one MFP Scan form for a process, provided the form names are different. The process initialization variables associated with the processes appear as corresponding controls on the generated forms. You can open and customize forms in the design view.

Note You cannot generate this form if the process map and the document type / folder has the same name. Ensure the process map has a different name to that of a document type or folder.

You can highlight invalid fields when creating a job using the MFP Scan Create New Job form. When you generate the MFP Scan Create new Job form, the validate action called on a field uses the return values of the validate method to set the ErrorMessage and isValid properties on the input controls. When you click a button that has the Causes Validation property set to yes, any invalid fields are highlighted and an error message is displayed.

The generated MFP Scan Create New Job form contains the following buttons by default: Scan (scan, submit and completes the activity), Scan Settings (opens the Scan Settings page) and Cancel.

  1. On the Home page, click Form Designer, and under MFP section, click Scan Create New Job.

    The Scan Create New Job Form page appears.

  2. On the Explorer, click Processes.

    A list of processes appears.

  3. Consume the Processes to use and to associate with the form.

    Note You can only generate a process map that is capture-enabled. See Configure the capture properties of a process.

  4. Click either of the following:

    • Generate: To save the form.

    • Generate and Release: To publish the form.

      Note

      • For a Scan Create New Job form, the CreateNewJob, FireScannedEvent, RedirectToOrigin and Scan actions are available by default. The CreateNewJob action and Scan action are associated with the StartButtonPressed event on the form. The FireScannedEvent and RedirectToOrigin actions are associated with the ScanComplete event on the form.

      • The ScanStatus variable is available by default.

      • When an MFP user cancels a scan, or when an upload fails, the ScanFailed event is raised
