Form Version Functions

   Journey Manager (JM) The transaction engine for the platform. |   Platform Developer |  17.10 This feature was introduced in 17.10.

Manager allows you to view, create new and edit existing triggers to invoke form functions for each form version.

To view form functions:

1. Select Forms > Forms.
2. Locate a form and select the Functions tab to view all available triggers and form functions invoked by the triggers.
   Note

   The Functions tab is available only when the Use Transact Functions checkbox is selected from the Build Options when building a form in Maestro. If you still can't see the tab, check the Uses Transact Functions checkbox is selected. For more information, see Configure a Form Version.

   

   The list displays the following details:

   • Trigger: a name of a trigger, which can be one of the following:
     • Form Open is called when new form transaction is created by Manager, immaculately before it is rendered to the browser.
     • Form Resume is called by Manager when a saved form transaction is resumed, immediately before it is rendered to the browser.
     • Form Save Challenge is called when a save challenge is performed.
     • Form Update is called when the form makes an background update operation in a browser.
     • Form Ineligible is called when the form determines the user is ineligible to complete the application.
     • Form Function is called by Maestro form business rule scripts generally to get dynamic data from the server and perform any transaction updates.
     • User Save is called when the user explicitly saves and closes the form in a browser.
     • User Submit is called when the user explicitly submits a completed form application in a browser.
     • User Cancel is called when the user explicitly cancels and closes a form application in a browser.
     • Background Delivery is called to run a Delivery Function in a background, for example, when the user submits a form but the PDF receipt document will not be available yet. For more information, see Delivery Function.
   • Function: a name of a form function invoked by a trigger.
   • Sequence: an order that functions with the same trigger are executed.
   • Delivery: whether a form function is of the Delivery Function type or not.
