The existing forms designer feature does not fully implement the XFORMS standard and misses basic features (eg user specified submit). This results in proof of concept applications looking bad and newcomers to Intalio spending much time and effort getting around the limitation. Moving from Proof of Concept to productive development then requires a rebuild of UI.
Rather than spending effort in developing the Forms Designer to a useful level, this proposal suggests the adoption of Orbeon Form Builder which appears committed to full function forms.
Basic requirements:
XFORMS templates conforming to the existing UI as starting point for user form design.
Vaildation of the Intalio build requirements (Input/Output instances etc)

There is a side benefit of taking this approach ... any true XFORMS-based development tool would interface with the Intalio Design and Build.

Hello,

Thanks for your suggestion!

I have created a corresponding D3 feature to track the status of your feature request.

Intalio engineering is monitoring the progress of the Orbeon Form Builder and will be taking a closer look after the current release is out.

We would also like to get some feedback from the community and solicit sponsorship to accelerate the development of this feature if there is sufficient interest.

The floor is now open!

Thanks,

Shao.

Hi,

I was going through your post.
I am also trying to integrate Orbeon Forms with Intalio BPMS. Have been successful in integrating the same.

Thanks

Raghu,

I am glad to read this. We are working hard on Form Builder here at Orbeon, so expect to see even more improvements in the coming months. Thank you for sharing this with us here,

Alex (of Orbeon)

Hi there,

Did you say you have successfully integrated orbeon forms designer to map with intalio bpm modeller. If so we would like to understand how that can be done as the existing forms editor has a lot to be done to get to any real complex forms

Thanks Neville
