Custom Forms and Plug-Ins
From a business perspective, Forms are paper documents that Mobile Workers fill in, while performing their work. From Oracle Field Service perspective, a Form is a pre-configured page that can be configured using data elements that exist only in the context of a Form.
Administrators may create as many Forms as needed for the business.
Forms are not User Type specific; they are independent pages that are connected to User Types pages through links that are configured on context layouts.
After the Form is configured, all users see the same Form and capture the same data regardless of their User Type.
The Form Field data elements, which can be added to forms are not associated or “bound” to a specific field or custom property.
Forms are available only in Core Application, iOS and Android apps.
Contents of a submitted Form cannot be changed, even if a related entity or Form configuration changes later.
When a Form is submitted, all Form field elements, except those that have auto-calculated default values or values filled through predefined parameters are blank.
Forms don't support links to any types of pages such as standard actions, plug-ins, or other forms.
A configuration page where all the required elements are added.
A page on a mobile device or a computer where mobile workers and dispatchers fill in data.
A submitted Form result that represents every sample of the completed Form. These results are available to users on separate pages and can be retrieved through APIs.
