Custom Forms
With Imixs-Office-Workflow you can create forms completely model-based. No programming knowledge in HTML or Java Script is required. The custom form component enables you to design your forms at runtime. The definition of a custom form is done within the Imixs-BPMN modeler. To activate this feature you need to add the from “custom” into the section “Application -> Input Form” of your task element.
