2.In the NovaCore Toolbox select the Forms tab and select 'Publish this document as a web form' as shown below.

Field Settings

To make it easier to read the Associated Register (see below) you can create Friendly Names for your fields.

Under Field Settings click on the empty space beside the field that you want to name and type in the name.
 

 

When you create a Web Form, NovaCore automatically generates a register that associates with the form.

For example, if you create a Corrective Action Form, NovaCore will generate a Corrective Action Register. Note that by default the name of the register will be the same as the name of the form. You can edit this name in the field shown in the Forms tab of the NovaCore Toolbox.
 

To view an Associated Register go to the Registers tab in NovaCore and select the register you want to open.

The register will show you a list of all the forms that have been submitted and you will be able to see the information that was filled in.

If you form has text fields, select the arrow indicated in the image below.

A list of the MEMO fields in the form will be shown with the information that was filled in.

This is where Friendly Names (explained in the section above) are useful. In the example image above, instead of the field names 'MEMO1' and 'MEMO2', there are the Friendly Names 'Issue' and 'Cause'. Having field names like these makes it much easier to read submitted forms.

To view forms that have been submitted Double click the form and the form will be shown to the right of the register list. You will be able to edit the information in the form fields, print the form and/or save the form.
