One Minute Form
Creating a new Intalio|AJAX form within Designer is fast and easy. The best way to learn about the widgets is to jump right in and experiment.
First, create a new project if you haven’t already. To do this, right click in the Process Explorer and choose New :: Intalio|Designer Business Process Project. Enter your project name and click Finish.
Next, right click your new project and choose New :: AJAX Form. Enter your form name and click Finish. This will generate a new empty form for you to experiment with. The form will actually not be completely empty. It will have a default header and an empty fieldset. A fieldset is basically a form section.
The Intalio|AJAX custom widgets are implimented as a set of GI addins. They will appear in your Component Libraries pallet under Addins :: IntalioWidgets.
Lets add some input elements. Drag and Drop a Text Input object from the Component Library to the canvas. Drop it inside the fieldset. Do the same thing with a Date Picker and then a Select object. Your form should now look like this.
It’s probably good to rename the field labels. The easiest way is to select the object in the Component Hierarchy, then change the Label Text property in the Properties Editor pallet. For example, we could rename the textinput-field label to Name.
Next, change the Label Text property for the date picker to something like Departure date and the label for the select to Vehicle. You can then continue to customize the form such as marking inputs as required, and setting the form header and fieldset labels to something more appropriate.
This is a simple form but shows the basics of using the Intalio|AJAX custom widgets.
