Starting and Stopping Periodic Forms
Starting
To make a configured periodic form available to the users in its Distribution list, you must activate it.
Perform the following:
- Right-click the form and select Start Form.
The form must include a valid start date. - Click OK.
Once the form becomes active, Corporater BMP:
-
Changes its status icon from Draft (
) to Active (
) in the Forms model tree in Configuration Studio. -
Makes it available to users in its distribution list on the My Forms page on Web.
You can continue to edit the active form and its distribution list, or add new elements to it.
Corporater BMP instantly applies your changes to it on Web.
Once the form reaches its end date or you stop manually stop it, Corporater BMP changes its status icon to Stopped (
).
If the form includes no end date, the form remains active indefinitely.
Stopping
You can stop an active periodic form by right-clicking it and selecting Stop Form.
Corporater BMP sets the form's status to Stopped ().
A stopped form can no longer be distributed.
Users who have received the form as part of previous distributions can still enter data in the form.
Resetting
To cancel the distribution of a form, reset its form schedule by right-clicking the schedule and selecting Reset.
Resetting a form deactivates it and deletes its distributions, regardless of their status. You can keep or delete the associated node data.
Reset forms return to Draft () status.
