Create a new QForm

The process of creating and editing QForms is similar to that of Forms. The main difference is that QForms do not support a Text Block Question and an Editable Text Block Question.

  1. Navigate to Content > Forms.
  2. Click Forms and click New QForm in the New pane on the right.

    The New QForm window appears.

  3. Enter a name for the QForm and click OK.

    The name of the QForm cannot contain any of the following characters:

    : ? / < > * " | \ ( ) .

    The new QForm appears in the tree view.

  4. Click the new QForm and then click Edit in the View and Edit pane on the right.

    The Form Editor appears.

    To expand or collapse an entire sub-tree in the Form Editor tree for easier navigation, hold Shift on the keyboard and click the required tree node. Alternatively, you can use the corresponding buttons in the toolbar.

  5. Specify the global properties for the Form:
    • QForm Title: Specify a title for the Form.

      You can also insert a Field by clicking Add field.

    • Advanced: In this section, you can change the QForm ID, if needed. For more information, see the section "Form and question IDs" in the Kofax Communications Manager Core Developer's Guide.
  6. Now you can fill your QForm with questions using the Add item button or the context menu.
  7. Click Save.
    To attach a QForm to a Content Wizard, see Work with Content Wizard.
