Form Design

Hi,

I need to design my custom forms to make use of them in the workflows. How could I achieve this?
I am creating a form using forms.xml but in OpenKM I am able to see it as a popup wherein entering the fields one by one.
I need to design a form with good look and feel and whenever a user fills in the form and submits it, workflow should start. The user receiving the form will edit the form and forwards it. I tried creating the form in OpenOffice and created a template using it in OpenKM assigning a property group. But whenever the user tries to create a form or document using this template, he cant see the look and feel of the form while filling in the details. I want this to be changed. Attaching a sample form which I dont want that look and feel. That look and feel should be changed.
Anyone please suggest me how I can achieve this.

Thanks,
Satyam V Vinodh

In this scenario, you should accessing to the workflows api across webservices. In community version the workflow api can be accessed across the SOAP webservices ( take a look here https://wiki.openkm.com/index.php/Webse ... OpenKM_6.2 ) and then create your own user interface.

Another way could be modifying the source code, but I do not suggest it. At least you might modify the source for embeding into a new dashboard widget and external iframe -> with your application into ).
