Building forms for case types

Create personalized forms for your case types to capture the data that the case requires to resolve your business processes. When you build forms, you define views that users interact with to provide information that is necessary in a case. As a result, you improve the flexibility of your application and accelerate case resolution, because you can define specific fields that collect information for specific cases. By creating a view, you can also lower application development time and costs, because you can reuse views for multiple case types. For example, you can create a view that captures feedback from a customer after resolving a case, such as a loan request, and then save time by reusing the view for other case types in which you need to collect feedback from a customer.
You can create views that are based on a table and display content in columns, or as forms that display a list of fields.
