Form flows overview

The Form Flows tab of the Form builder lets you manage all the form flows associated with a form template. A form flow adds workflow functionality to your form so that responsible parties can be actively engaged in an event’s process life cycle. Including a form flow can be helpful if your business process needs to be handed off from the reporter to another individual or department. Each step of a form flow has an associated form flow button in the template that you, as a responsible party, can click to complete your part.

You can add multiple form flows to a form to suit your specific business processes. For example, when filling out a form, a manager's approval may or may not be required to proceed. In this case, you can use a form flow for when manager approval is required, and another form flow when it is not required. Each form flow’s steps are independent of each other but contained in the same form.

The following image and table show the Form Flows tab sections:
