Registering the form fields for the application

After you register the applications that will be used with BMC Service Request Management, register the application template forms from the applications you registered. Then you must select and register form fields that map to questions that the user is prompted to answer. (Responses to questions are mapped at the time the fulfillment request is created.) The answer values are pushed to the form fields of the fulfillment applications that use BMC Service Request Management.

You also map event command parameters to the registered form fields. These command parameters enable data to be communicated from BMC Service Request Management to the registered fulfillment applications. Command parameters are used both on submission and on subsequent queries or modifications to and from the fulfillment request records. Mapping the fields allow data to be stored in the appropriate fields on the fulfillment request record.
