This section provides general tips and information on the following: • How to create a well-designed user interface • Options to start a process from a template • Options for what appears when a process starts • Options to design a task view • Process and task template versioning • Custom error messages • How to use data adaptors • Performance considerations General tips for user interface design • Consider creating a style guide for the user interface, in collaboration with the client. • Prepare a detailed design document and confer with the client to resolve all issues ahead of time. Preparing a detailed design document in advance makes creating the form templates a straightforward process. • Designing forms requires increased interaction with the client. The clients are the ones who will be using the forms, so let them see the forms often during the design phase and solicit as much input as possible. • The UI must be as intuitive as possible, with a common look and feel across all form templates. • Make a prototype and get it fully functional to help ensure that the UI design is as user-friendly as possible and that the client approves of the design before doing the actual development.

This chapter discusses the following:<br />
• Creating form templates in Forms Builder<br />
• Implementing TaskSpace applications<br />
Creating form templates in Forms Builder<br />
The form templates in Forms Builder are the basis for the user interface (UI) in TaskSpace and require<br />
careful consideration.<br />
This section provides general tips and information on the following:<br />
• How to create a well-designed user interface<br />
• Options to start a process from a template<br />
• Options for what appears when a process starts<br />
• Options to design a task view<br />
• Process and task template versioning<br />
• Custom error messages<br />
• How to use data adaptors<br />
• Performance considerations<br />
General tips for user interface design<br />
• Consider creating a style guide for the user interface, in collaboration with the client.<br />
• Prepare a detailed design document and confer with the client to resolve all issues ahead of<br />
time. Preparing a detailed design document in advance makes creating the form templates a<br />
straightforward process.<br />
• <strong>Designing</strong> forms requires increased interaction with the client. The clients are the ones who will<br />
be using the forms, so let them see the forms often during the design phase and solicit as much<br />
input as possible.<br />
• The UI must be as intuitive as possible, with a common look and feel across all form templates.<br />
• Make a prototype and get it fully functional to help ensure that the UI design is as user-friendly as<br />
possible and that the client approves of the design before doing the actual development. Keep in<br />
