xfaForm

A complex data type that you can used to store XML data in XDP format, and the location of a file in the repository.

xfaForm variables are useful when used in human-centric processes so that the form can be delivered in one of several formats. The variable stores the location of the form and the XDP form data that is captured with the form.

Process Management ES provides several processes that can be used as render and submit services for this variable type. The services you use depend on the type of form that you are using. (See Advanced Settings.)

For information about how to configure the General and Enduser UI Items properties, see Common variable properties.

Data items

This section provides descriptions of each of the data items that xfaForm variables contain.

data

XML-based information that contains form data. The actual form data is stored several levels below this node. The following XPath expression shows the path to the form field data:

/process_data/variable_name/xdp/datasets/data/FSFIELDS_

variable_name is the name of the xfaForm variable

FSFIELDS_ is a default name used for the root element of the form data when the schema of the form data is unknown. If the form schema is known, the actual root element is shown, followed by data elements that represent form fields. The data for each field is accessible using XPath expressions.

The following XPath expression returns all of the form data:

/process_data/variable_name/xdp/datasets/data/*

templateUrl

A string value that represents the URL of a form that resides in the repository.
