Publishing

Introduction

The notion of publishing is central to Form Builder/Form Runner.

  • As a form author, you first work on a form definition in a special space where the form can be modified, saved, and tested.
  • Once the form definition is ready, you publish it to Form Runner.
  • After that moment:
    • the form becomes available by form users for data entry
    • Form Builder is no longer part of the equation

Versioning

When versioning is enabled, you have a choice, when publishing, of whether to create a new form version or to override an existing one.

Creating a new version

Overwriting an existing version

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 4.11] You can overwrite not only the latest published version, but any previous version.
