The Form Title Field can be used for data integration between two Kuali Build applications.
See Form Data Sharing / Lookup List and more about Data Sharing.

  • Disable submissions: Allows you to disable submissions at any time for an app; even during the Submission date window.

  • Show "Start new form" button on the submission confirmation page: This setting allows users to begin a new form from the confirmation page after submission.

  • Start a new empty form after each submission: Once a form has been submitted, this setting will automatically redirect users to a new, blank form.

Additional Options

  • Turn top-level sections into pages: This setting allows you to paginate the form users fill out. In order for this setting to work, you need to have at least 2 top-level sections in your form, meaning, one section cannot be embedded in the other.

  • Allow PDF export of documents: Enabling this setting will allow completed forms to be exported into a PDF.

  • New PDF experience: Enabling this setting will provide an improved design of the generated PDF document, it is now fully accessible and resembles what the form looks like on the screen.

NOTE that “Allow PDF export of documents” will need to be enabled to see this option.

  • Include PDFs uploaded through the form: If 'New PDF Experience' is enabled you have the option to select to include all uploaded PDFs within the document in the exported PDF, appended to the end

  • Remove integration data when duplicating documents:  If there are integration fields in your form upon duplicating it will duplicate the exact value from the document; even though it may no longer be a valid/current entry from your integration.  When this setting is enabled, it will clear out any integration field when duplicating so it will have to rerun in the newly created document.

  • Add a custom help link:  Allows you to configure a url or mailto link to direct users in your app (via a Form Help button) to a specific website or email a specific email address for help.  By default, this configuration is null and the Form Help icon will only appear in a form once you've configured a value:

Once configured, the Form Help 'View' link will then appear in the form document in the upper right-hand side of the screen under the Submit, Save, etc. buttons.  When clicked it will open a new browser window to either open the URL or the user's email client to send an email to the configured email address.

Conditional Permissions

Conditional permissions give users access to documents based on values selected on the form. Users will only have access to these documents within the document list.  More information on how these work and how they can be configured can be found in the Conditional Permissions article.
