What are Smart Forms?

Smart Forms are used as the basis for many activities within Smart Onboarding.  They are very powerful and flexible, allowing the user to build simple and complex activities.  In addition to being used for onboarding activities, Smart Forms can be used to specify supplemental attribute information.

Onboarding Forms

Using Smart Forms, you can modify the existing activities or add new activities to the onboarding process.  There are many features available within Smart Forms, such as including bind variables within text, the ability to upload documents or attachments, and collaboration with other users.

Supplemental Attribute Data

You can use a Smart Form to add supplemental data for many attributes. Supplemental attribute data can be seen when the associated attribute is prompted, and can be used when specifying criteria for presenting activities to users. For details of how to add, edit, or delete supplemental attribute data, click here.

	Spawns options for a table, adjust, then click OK, and it should create the table Some points about tables: 1) Do not create a table with only rows. Columns are required when you use tables. 2) If you don’t need at least 1 column in the table then you don’t have to insert the table. You can directly paste the content in the rich text editor. 3) If you need a table with 2 or more columns with different widths (not the default) and multiple rows of same property, then do not insert all the rows while inserting the table. Insert one row and adjust the column widths and then right click on one if the cell and use option ‘Insert Row Above/Below’. This will insert the rows with the same properties that you have configured already. 4) If you need multiple rows and columns in a table with different widths for few/all the cells, then do not insert them as one table. Insert them as separate tables.
Text Box	Write in the Text Box This is where all of the Text Editing applies You can expand or shrink the box by dragging the bottom-right triangle symbol

How do you modify a Smart Form?

There are two different ways to modify a Smart Form, by clicking on:

• • Add a New Value.
  • Search if you have an existing Smart Form in progress (click here to skip the first way).

Add a New Value:

Fill out the fields and then click on Reserve.

Click on Configure, and then click here to continue the directions from this way.

2. Search: Instead of Add a New Value, click on Search (you can filter out the results so that it only shows Content In Progress because those are the two requirements to do a Content Modification).

Find the revision you want to modify (it must be a content revision and in progress!).

Click on View/Edit.

Click on Review/Update.

Choose a Smart Form that you want to modify–you can use the Quick Filter to help find the one you have in mind.

Make the desired changes, and then click on Save.

Click on Return.

Scrolling down, you can see the number of revisions created for this particular Content Revision in the Current Revision Summary. This makes it easy to manage multiple changes in one revision, and also reassures that the changes actually happened.

The number of Smart Forms changed from 0 to 1 because only one modification is done for this Content Revision. However you can make multiple additions or modifications in one Content Revision.

Scrolling back to the top, click on Return to Manage Revision.

Click on Apply.

If you are not sure, you can still View/Edit and it will take you to the previous page. You can also leave this Manage Revision page and leave the Content Revision in progress to apply or withdraw later.
