Creating a form for a BAW Process Diagram is easy to do if you complete the following steps.

In BAW, create a process flow diagram using an inline task where you want a Form to be created.

Create your variables in the process flow using the standard variable types from the system toolkit or you can use the special ones from the Apex Forms toolkit. Variables can be simple variables or even complex variables.

For each inline user task, map the necessary input and output variables for the task. Variables that are mapped as input only will by default be read-only on the generated form as default. Variables that are both input and output, or just output will be editable by default on the generated form. Of course this setting can be changed once the form is generated.

In the Apex Forms Design App, locate your project and open it by clicking on it. Your application will open to the process page displaying all of the process flow diagrams in your BAW application

Clicking on the process diagram for which you want to generate forms will open the process tab to allow you to generate individual forms or all forms.

You can generate all of the forms for the process by clicking on the Generate Forms button, or you can generate the form for an individual task by clicking on the Form Name. If you click on an individual form the form design window will open when the form is generated. If you generated all of the forms, once they are finished, you can open a form by clicking on the form name.

Congratulations, You just created your forms and you can run your process.
