Basic form
Use a basic form to collect general information for a workflow.
Add forms on the Groups tab of the Xerox EIP Connect configuration dialog box. To add a basic form to a process, first click any group or menu node and then click on the menu bar.
Configure options for a basic form on the General, Fields, and Components tabs in the Form Settings dialog box. These tabs provide options that may be configured for every type of form.
When setting up any type of form, the following three tabs must be configured:
General Tab
Option | Description |
---|---|
Name | The name of the form to be displayed on the MFP panel. For example, if this form is used to send the scanned documents to the user’s home directory, then name the form "Scan to User’s Home Directory". This name must be unique among the forms at the current nesting level. The maximum number of characters allowed in the form name is 25. |
Icon | Specifies an icon to be associated with this form. Enter the path where the image is stored. The image must have the
following characteristics.

Configure the fields that will be presented to the user. Add a field by entering data on the last line, which is marked in the first column by the asterisk (*).
