Setting Up Forms
You create customized forms for gathering feedback and information from publication readers.
About this task
There are three types of forms:
- Document Attached -- Forms that are specifically associated -- "attached" -- to a single document. An example of a document-attached form is a comment. Public comments are available to view for all readers of that document.
- Floating -- Forms that are not associated with a single document. Examples are warranty registrations and application-wide issues reports. Users may view public floating forms in My Settings in their accounts.
- System -- For use by the SDL LiveContent Reach application. User Profile and User Preferences in My Settings are examples. Additional system forms cannot be added.
SDL LiveContent Reach includes two forms by default: comments that you can add to each document in a publication (document-attached, allow public equal to yes) and issue reports (floating, allow public equal to no). Users who have View Forms permission can view all comments because they are public, but only users who have the Create Forms permission can add comments or issue reports. Users who have Manage Forms can view or delete Issue Reports created by other users.
Forms in SDL LiveContent Reach use the XForms 1.1 Specification markup. See W3C Recommendation on XForms.
