Implementing a Form on a Web Page
Assigning a Task to a Form
Note
Field Description
Working with HTML Forms
Tooltip Enter or change the button’s tooltip (that is, text that
appears in a small window when someone hovers the
mouse over the button).
Classname Enter or change the style sheet class assigned to the
button.
After you create the form, you need to link it to another page on
your Web site. You would insert the link as you would any form link.
See ”Adding a Library File to Content” on page 148
Next, open your Web Site, navigate to the host page, and click the
hyperlink to access the form. Now, you can test the form and make
sure it works as you expected. If needed, you can return to edit
mode, change the form, and test it again until you are happy with it.
While tasks typically help Ektron CMS400.NET users track content
activities, you can also assign a task to users or user groups
whenever a form is submitted.
For example, your Web site offers a free product demonstration to
anyone who completes a form. Whenever a site visitor submits the
form, a task is assigned to your sales department’s administrative
assistant. He uses the information on the form to schedule a
demonstration. The sales manager can review the task history to
audit sales leads and ensure demonstration requests are being
handled in a timely manner.
To set up a task that it is assigned to users or groups whenever a
site visitor completes the form, follow these steps.
You should be familiar with tasks before beginning this procedure. See Also:
”Managing Tasks” on page 286
1. If you are creating a new form, assign the task at Step 3 of the
Forms Wizard.
