Forms are list of user interfaces to display and entry data from user. Emakin uses generic form rendering engine and many control types to display or edit workflow instance data. Please refer to forms overview for general information.
Process pools may have zero or more form definitions to display. If not set, all tasks uses the pool default form but each task can use different form design if desired. Using too many forms are not recommended for easy management. Declaring sections in form and set state for each section is better practice.
Also you can define form templates to re-use common panels for data model types.
Form Section State
Forms also have "Section" definitions to control state of form elements. Any defined form section state can be set for each task in process.
