Auto-Generated Forms

Forms can be configured so that instances of the Form can be generated automatically based on some programmed logic. For example, all open work-items of a particular type can be scanned for and an auto-generated Form created and sent to particular users, based on data associated with the work-item.

...

1. configuring which Forms should be auto-generated,
2. scheduling a job to process the Forms
3. implement logic for selecting the basis for each Form (ie each instance of Form based on what?)
4. implement logic for selecting data for each instance (Form contents for each instance)

Configure any Forms to be generated automatically via /IQX/CONFIG - >Auto-Generated Forms

Schedule /IQX/FAB_AUTO_GENERATE_FORM

Create a variant for the Form and schedule it as desired, or execute immediately.

...

FAB_DEMO_APPROVE_NOTIF     

Implement

Via the Implementation Class of the Form/App, implement methods:

...

AUTO_GENERATED_FORM_CREATE

AUTO_GENERATED_FORMS_SELECT

In this method, write the logic for selecting the data that is the basis of the auto-generated forms.

AUTO_GENERATED_FORM_CREATE

In this method, we

1. write the logic for selecting the actual data for each Form that will be generated (based on the key,value pairs generated via AUTO_GENERATED_FORM_SELECT )
2. Set a starting Action in EV_ACTION (such as GENERATE or SAVE).
