Build a TM Form Version

   MaestroThe UI design product.  |   Form Builder  |   22.10This feature was updated in 22.10.

Maestro allows you to build a form as a TM Form Version ZIP file, which includes a FAR file and all related form's assets, so you can easily deploy it in a form space in Journey Manager. You develop and build the form in the same tool - the Maestro editor, which is handy and saves you time.

If the form containing multiple brands, you can build the form using one or many brands available to the form.

If you don't need to deploy a TM Form Version ZIP file right away, you can build and review it first, and import it into Manager later , when you need to. Usually, you import the TM Form Version ZIP file to Test and UAT environments, then you promote a form to a production environment by exporting and importing it using Manager's functionality.

To build the TM Form Version of a Maestro form:

  1. Open a form in the Maestro editor and select one of the following options from the Build dropdown menu:

  3. Click Build and Download TM Form Version to build a TM Form Version and then immediately download the ZIP file needed to import the Form Version into Manager.
  4. Click Build and Render Form to build a TM Form Version and render the form in a new tab. You can download the TM Form Version later from the Management Dashboard. This option is handy when you need to view or test a rendered version of the form.
