Forms

Forms is a built-in Tilecast plugin. An Owner or Administrator installs it from Operations > Plugins.

After it is installed, people with content-management permission can create and manage forms under Plugins > Forms.

Form data does not appear in the normal external Data Sources library.

Create a form

A form has fields and a review workflow.

The default workflow includes draft, submitted, changes requested, approved, rejected, and expired states.

Publishing a new form version does not rewrite older submissions. Existing records keep the form version they were created with.

Submit a form

People use My Forms to see forms they can access and their own submissions.

A submitter can edit a record while its current state allows editing, then submit or resubmit it.

If a reviewer requests changes, the reviewer note appears with the submission so it can be updated and sent again.

Use approved records in signage

A Form View chooses which records and fields can be used by Tilecast content.

Approved records can then feed Widgets and Layouts like other structured data in Tilecast.

See Form approvals for the review workflow.
