Configure Form Space Properties

   Journey Manager (JM) The transaction engine for the platform. |   System Manager / DevOps |  23.04This feature was updated in 23.04

Manager comes with a set of standard form space properties that can be applied to all spaces that are created in this Manager instance. These properties have default values that can be configured via the Properties and Properties Edit tabs. You can use form spaces properties to override organization's properties. Subsequently, you can create form's properties to override the form space's properties.

Manager automatically sends emails to form users to notify the form has been changed. You can adjust the email format using the settings below.

One common use of the term refers to a web browser that retrieves, renders and facilitates end user interaction with Web content. (browser) with the same IP addressIP address is a unique string of numbers separated by full stops that identifies each computer using the Internet Protocol to communicate over a network., this timeout doesn't apply, because Manager re-establishes a session. In this case, the user can access the form receipt multiple times without any time restrictions. The default timeout is 15 min.
