Question

Creating field and lookup components library

asked on August 31, 2017

I've looked at the posts to create a custom business process library from my existing forms, but I haven't seen where there is an option to create a library of fields and lookup components to be used in other forms.

Use case:

I am creating forms related to our ISO procedures and the same fields and lookups are used for demographic information regarding who is filling out the form, the location, and company details.  Instead of having to go back and forth between a current form and new form to replicate these fields/lookups, I'd like to be able to go to a library where I can pull these components and add them to my new form.  This would allow for consistency among the forms.

Wish List:  If there were a component from the library that was used in a form, that when this component was updated in the library, it would update the same component in the associated forms.  I can see that having issues with running instances, but perhaps having the ability to query what forms contain the modified component would be a better option.

Thanks for the feedback. We are actively working on a feature set that will meet a need like this and your scenario reaffirms the enhancements we are making. This feature set will be part of a larger release, which we are still determining a time frame for. Stay tuned!

I'll be looking forward to additional updates regarding the timeframe as it becomes available.  Always appreciate Laserfiche listening to our ideas!

I am also extremely interested in a feature like this.  I have two complicated things that I have to keep re-creating in almost every form process I do.  One is changing the address field to remove unnecessary U.S. info and make the collection of fields smaller, and another is for a collection field that captures a complicated Legal Address format and allows numerous entries of legal addresses!
