Learn how to access GlobalForms, the web-based forms application from Square 9 Softworks, and some key concepts for using it. After getting started with GlobalCapture v10, please refer to the Administrator and User guides for further information.

Misc GF info:

form.io:

"a drag-and-drop form builder interface" to "create the Forms and Resources for your application." using the "form builder." "Our form builder, however, is very special where instead of building an HTML form, it instead generates a JSON schema representation of the form or resource." "The creation of these forms generates a JSON schema that is used to both dynamically render the forms within the Serverless application, but also automatically generate the corresponding API to receive the data when that form is submitted." API connects to SQL Server, among other apps.

Uses "Resources" and "Forms." Resource are "structured" data objects. (Resource Forms: HR Admin, Employee, Event). Forms are "unstructured" data that is used to supplement a Resource. (Forms: W4, Employee Onboarding, Even Registration). "Technically Resources and Forms are the same thing. The simplicity and power of the Form.io platform treats them both the same from an API perspective, but they were separated to assist the developer to keep track of them as separate entities since they are used differently within the Data Management applications."

"Form Actions" "Once a form is submitted by the user, the data is sent to the API server where it is then processed through Actions." (Save Submission, Login, send Email are Actions.)

There are Roles and Permissions.
