The nFORM system supports the ability to design custom forms for submission by the regulated community. These forms are highly configurable, and the system provides much flexibility for form designers.
Effectively representing an agency’s forms electronically will often result in a much different presentation than on paper. There are many different approaches and techniques for implementing form elements in nFORM. Designing these forms can sometimes be an artistic expression, requiring implementation, trial, feedback, and refinement based on real-world use.

Forms are established in a dynamic manner providing each agency with the flexibility to customize form Forms are established in a dynamic manner, providing each agency with the flexibility to customize form for their specific needs. This section describes, in detail, the four key steps used to create a new form. These steps include:
...
Select Forms link from the top menu.
Select the Add Form link in the top right hand of the Forms page.
A new form with the status of “Draft” will be created.
...
Assign Form to an Organization
This step will assign the parent organization, which determines under what organization the form will be listed and enables public users to easily find the forms they need to submit. The setting also determines which internal users have access to maintain the form and process form submissions. Typically, the agency/program that owns the processing of the form is the Responsible Organization.
Note: This setting can be updated later from the Forms Designer Form tab.
...
Select the organization that is responsible for and is associated to with the form.
...
Configure the Form Attributes
...
The form designer consists of three main steps; 1: 1) Form Details, 2; 2) Sections and Controls and 3Controls; and 3) Processing Steps and Actions. Online applications will require that all three steps be completed. Offline forms will only require Step 1 – Form Details be Details to be completed. This section describes what is considered Step 1 of the form design process. This step includes the configuration of all high-level form attributes, or Form Details.
There are many configuration attributes available for use for with a form. The Form Details page is separated into a number of tabs. Each tab is organized by similar data points and has information that will need to be filled out before a form can be published and made publicly available. Information that is required for a form to be published will be marked with a red asterisk.
...
Overview – For configuring the form information that is shared across all versions of the form.
Responsible Organization (described above)
Tag – uniquely identifies the form. Form tags must be unique across the entire application. Used to map any exporting/importing or use of data back to the original form. Important when an external system or database needs to access submission data outside of the nFORM system (i.e. for data integration). See See the TAGging Fundamentals topic in the IntegrationGuide for additional details on tagging.
Identifying Keywords - for the Finder search capability. List of words that users can enter in the Finder that would result in this form being included among the matching results. Matching on identifying keywords is in addition to matching on the form name, form reference number, and form short description, all of which are already automatically searched when using the Finder.
Form for Internal Use Only - Identifies if the form will be available for selecting and viewing by the public. If this attribute is checked, the public will not have the ability to find this form.
Form revision notes can be added to a form via the Form Revision Notes section in the form design overview tab. Revision notes are helpful when form designers want to communicate the changes that they have made on specific versions.
To add a note, simply click on the add note… button. This will give you a prompt to enter the pertinent data. Once a revision note has been created, you can edit or delete your own note. The revision notes automatically indicate what version they were added to in the list of revision notes.
...
Statuses
Published: Current version of the form is available to be submitted and is not editable.
Draft: Current working version of the form is not yet available to be submitted. The most recent published version (if one was available) will continue to be available to be submitted. New forms are initially set to Draft.
Inactive: Inactive version of the form , is not editable and is no longer available to be used for new submissions. Used for reference only. Forms with this status can later be updated.
Change Status Buttons
Publish: Publishes the current version of the form for use by users of the system. Note: Only Draft versions of the form can be published.
Deactivate: Deactivates a version of the form. Note: Only Draft or Published versions of a form can be inactivated.
Draft: Establishes an editable, draft version of the form that can be used to adjust the configuration of a form. Note: Only Published or Inactive version of a form can be made to draft, and only one version of a form can be a draft.
Tip: When an existing, published form needs to be edited, you will need to press the Draft button to create a new draft version of the form which that can support modifications to that form. If there is already a draft version of the form, that version must be used, or it can be inactivated and then a new draft can be established based on the current master published version. There may only be one draft version of a form at a time.
Delete Form- Simply click the trash bin icon in the status section. You can delete your form if there are no open submissions. If there are, you will be prompted to delete those first before being able to delete the form.
Form Information:
Form Name – Public name/title of the form that is displayed throughout the system.
Reference Number – A reference number used to identify the form. This is often used to reference an old paper form number.

Alternative Identifier – Activate Display of Alternative Submission Identifier –If checked, an Alternate Identifier will be enabled, allowing the form designer to collect data from the submitter, which will then be displayed on the Processing Dashboard, and submission headers as a way to associate a meaningful name that the application can remember and search on. See Alternative Identifier section of the Advanced Form Design Guide for details on this feature.
General Instructions – Text displayed on the form’s home page is intended to provide initial instruction for using and completing the form.
Form Type Selection:
Default Form Type Value on Form – The default form type (e.g. New, Renewal, Modification, etc.) for this form type. When the submitter/user submits a form, the first step is referred to as the “Processing Info” step, and the user is prompted to select the reason for submission. This setting determines the default reason for this form type. Note: “Off” can be used when this attribute is not used.
Lock Form Type Field on Form – Selecting “Yes” for this attribute will lock the Reason field value based on the configured default value, forcing this value to be consistent for the form.
Copy as New – Enable Copy as New – If checked, it specifies that the submitter will have the ability to copy existing submissions for this form , as a new submission , from the Submission View page.
