Can I use meta data saved in Repository to populate Forms?

Forms

asked on May 1, 2015

At the beginning of my process, a form is stored in laserfiche upon submission.  The data in the form is corerctly saving as meta data in the repository.  

 

I configured the LF database as an available data source.  It seems I need to create rules that will map my form fields with database tables.  However, I do not know what tables would store the megta data.

Is this possible?

Is their documentation as to where to look inside the database using the Forms tools?

To get you started, the propdef table contains information about the fields, i.e. the field name and ID (column names are prop_name and prop_id). The propval table contains that actual field values that you can reference using the prop_id. You may need to incorporate the tocid somehow if you want to narrow the scope of field values not only to certain fields, but also to certain entries.

One thing to note is that the repository database schema can change in future versions of the software so that's something to be aware of.
