Content Server users often attach Forms to Workflows as a systematic way to gather information. As a Form routes through the steps of a Workflow, it is often helpful to use different views of a Form that are tailored to the particular step or to the assigned user step.

Using Web Forms, you can create just one Form Template for use in such cases, and then make multiple views of the Form to be used at the appropriate steps in the Workflow. This section contains a tutorial that shows you how to set up an Employment Application Form in Content Server that applicants can fill out and save for later editing. Once the applicants are finished editing the Form, they can submit the Form, thereby initiating a Workflow. The Workflow is first assigned to the applicant where they can attach their resume and make any alterations to the Form before submitting the application package to a manager for approval. The applicant is prevented from entering certain information in the Form. The hiring manager then receives the application as part of a Workflow step and either accepts or rejects the application. If an application is accepted, it is routed to another employee.

The following sections guide you through the steps that are necessary to create a Employment Application Form.
