Forms Development

Key Benefits:

• Reduces the cost and risk associated with integrating diverse users.

• Minimizes ongoing maintenance costs.

• Delivers XML-based transactions, which can be processed significantly faster than transactions relying on scripts that are interpreted at run time.

• Supports mobile and Web-based access with a single development effort.

Key Features:

• Provides design-time tools that run on any Windows platform, usable by anyone with a general technical background.

• Enables the development of forms that satisfy the display properties for both Internet-based access and hand-held device access, eliminating the need for recoding.

• Provides a management console that offers the ability to easily maintain forms once they have been created, without the need to recode when making simple changes.

• Provides browser-based access, enabling users to work with the system at any time from anywhere.

• Supports a library of common form components, allowing an organization to save frequently used form fields and sections, and incorporate them into multiple forms. If you make a change to any of the library items, all forms referencing the item are automatically updated.

Business Uses
Insurance companies and other firms that generate forms used by agents to process claims spend significant time improving the ways that information is collected. By using the form elements supported by the IDS WebForms library, a single component used by dozens of forms can be updated on the central server and automatically update all forms that use that component.

IDS WebForms enables businesses that conduct Web-based commerce or transactions with business partners to easily send information without worrying about the format or native language of the receiving device. XML-based data can be published on a business Web site and transformed to any other language.

Friendly and Strong Communications
IDS WebForms empowers companies with the ability to communicate with business partners and customers without relying on proprietary formats or retooling in-house systems. It allows heterogeneous systems to exchange data seamlessly. It also extends the value of the information stored in the systems beyond the traditional user to include partners, customers, and other employees.

PDF Forms
IDS using Adobe products for creating intelligent XML templates will provide you with a simple way to convert and use your specific forms on the web. IDS can create both HTML and Adobe Portable Document Format (PDF) forms.

• The Date/Time Field Object displays a date and/or time on a form.

• Password protection for form templates allows IDS to specify that their templates cannot be opened or modified by an unauthorized person.

• Active scripting extends the capabilities of the form and allows for the creation of richer forms.

• Technology-Assisted Learning helps designers get up and running with the application in the shortest time possible.
