Manager allows you to prefill a form by passing an XMLXML (Extensible Markup Language) is a markup language that defines a set of rules for encoding documents in a format that is both human-readable and machine-readable. prefill document with form details. A form should have XML input mappings configured, so you can use this functionality in several ways:

• When XML input mappings are configured, the XML is returned from a Groovy Prefill Service.
• Assign tasks in Manager, when the Form Data field is set to Input Xml Data, so the mappings are used to map data into the form seed.
• Create anonymous saved forms using the SubmissionTaskService.createAnonymousSavedForm and SubmissionTaskService.createFormTask, when the inputXmlData parameter is used to pass in the input XML object.

As an example, the XML prefill form passes all the details for the first page of the Credit Card Application form. This is handled by the form version prefill service which assembles the prefill details as an XML document.
