Design Types

   MaestroThe UI design product.  |   Form Builder| |   18.05 This feature was updated in 18.05.

Maestro recognizes the 4 types of designs:

• Form: a web application designed to capture data from applicants.
• Component: a modular building block that can be drag and dropped into forms, receipts, and templates.
• Template: a master form used to provide a consistent look and feel to multiple forms and receipts.
• Receipt: a document of record that provides organizations and applicants with a reference of their submitted data.

You can think of designs as different folders in the Navigator tree, where forms, components and templates are all the same thing, just with a different folder name. You can have different versions of them as well. The main difference is that templates and components need to be published to a library, which is why there is a default template library. Forms can be then built and deployed to Journey Manager so they can be accessed and filled by form users.

Maestro editor allows you to create, view and edit all 4 types of designs in a similar fashion because they have a lot of commonalities. However, there are unique controls pertaining to each type of design, which are explained throughout the documentation. For example, we don't need to differentiate between tagging a form and a template as it is the same. However, there are differences when it comes to tagging libraries containing published content, and they are thoroughly explained in the corresponding documentation.
