Question

Will Laserfiche forms ever be a wysiwyg interface?

asked on August 20, 2015

We are getting bombarded with other vendors offering forms solutions.  Granted they are not as robust as laserfiche so far, but, the interface for building forms is always much better than laserfiche forms.  Does anyone know what the plan is for this particular product?  as far as upgrades?

thank you

I'm actually very surprised to hear that. Speaking as a VAR, we're familiar with a large variety of forms solutions, and Laserfiche Forms always trumps them when it comes to the user interface, especially when building the forms. We position the UI as a competitive advantage in every deal and have found that to be a very successful approach. There are a few fancy-looking forms products out there, but they are all standalone non-enterprise (i.e. consumer-grade) products and do not offer a way to cleanly and easily integrate with a repository backend.

Having a wysiwyg interface would be nice, though. I often times end up with over ten browser tabs that are just previews of the various stages of the form I'm building. smiley Maybe a different version of the CSS and JavaScript section where instead of CSS/JS on the left pane, you're building the form by dragging and dropping fields, and the view of the resulting form updates automatically on the right pane. Not really wysiwyg, but it would make things easier.

I do agree; my users don't care a bit about enterprise solutions, they just like fancy-looking forms products.  The suggests you list are yes some of the short-falls of the product.  I have come to understand that the Forms product is relatively new; that is why I was inquiring.  Hopefully, someone from LF will have a comment?

Hi there,

We'd like to discuss more with you. Can you tell me who is your VAR?
