Creating a new FormTemplate

In Touchpoints, each Touchpoint has a Form. Each Form is based on a FormTemplate.

When creating a new Touchpoint, the user selects a Form for the Touchpoint, and when the Touchpoint is created, a Form object is also created for the Touchpoint.

FormTemplates are defined in Touchpoints and currently managed in a manual way.

The purpose of this page is to describe what is required to create a new Form Template in Touchpoints. The result being that users will be able to select the Form Template when creating a new Touchpoint to create an editable instance of a Form, based on that Form Template.

Example Form Templates include:

• A11
• Recruiter
• Open-ended
• Open-ended with Contact Information
