Form Maintenance
Summary
Forms refer to Microsoft Word documents that, through the use of merge
fields, allow users to pull data from the application and customize how that data is displayed on the forms.
Forms will be saved in the Springbrook folder on your server at the path specified when the application was installed (SS> Utilities> System Setup> System tab> Archive Directory field).
The forms will be saved as .sbw files in this folder and should not be edited to avoid corruption. Forms can be attached to various application elements through the module process and maintenance palettes.
Follow this process to create forms to attach to steps in issues or issue types. The forms set up in the Contact
Management module will not be accessible in other modules that use forms.

Step by Step
2 Create a Form.
- Enter a unique Form Name for the form. The field can be up to 32 characters
long. Once the form has been saved, you will not be able to edit this field.
- Enter an optional form Description.
- After you have entered a form name and description, click the Create icon
to create the
form. This will open a Word document.- Once the Word document is open, use the insert merge fields command in Word to specify the data fields you want displayed on the form. By inserting a merge field into the
Word document, and then attaching the form to a CM issue, the form will display the data found
in the corresponding field of the customer attached to the issue. Click here for a complete list of available mail merge fields.
- Images, charts, tables, etc. can also be inserted into the Word document.
- Once you are finished
creating/modifying your form, be sure to save the form both on the Word document (File> Save)
and using the Save icon
on the Form Maintenance window.
- The new form will now be available when creating form letters in the specified CM process.
