The FlowRunner Server
supports several different
form types. Individual
formats have their advantages and
may be appropriate for
various business use. A user step may have one or
more different forms
associated with it. Users
may choose a task form
formatted to their
preference if multiple
formats were set up.
For example, consider a
corporate HR intranet. An
intranet web site may
contain three links for
initiating "Leave of
absence" process. One
link is for people
comfortable with HTML forms,
others preferring PDF
forms. The last link may
invoke a Microsoft InfoPath
form.
