Human Tasks and Forms

When a person does an action within your process or application, the action is recorded using an online form. AgilePoint NX has several ways to add forms to your process.

eForms

eForms are web-based forms made with the AgilePoint NX eForm Builder.

You can use eForms for human tasks within an AgilePoint process. Alternatively, you can use eForms as standalone forms that you can connect from any application that uses a web service, whether it is built with AgilePoint or not.

External Forms

External Forms activities let you use form technologies from an external source. You can use any form technology that uses a web service or similar service, such as WCF. Supported form technologies include, but are not limited to:

External Forms also include the Web Form activity. The Web Form activity uses a web page as the user interface for a human task. The web page's URL is configurable and can include URL parameters. Thus one common use of this activity is to connect several different tasks with the same web page. Each activity can pass different input values to the web page with URL parameters to make the web page open correctly for each task.

Mobile View

For eForms and External Formss, you can specify how your forms show in the AgilePoint mobile app.
