Creating a form and workflow to search across multiple forms


After you have configured your forms and determined which forms should be excluded from the multi-form search, you can create a form and workflow that users can use to search across multiple forms. For example, you can create a simple search capability across all forms by providing a display-only form that contains fields such as:

  • A character field where users enter the terms they want to search
  • A character field where users enter the terms they do not want in the results
  • A menu to select the forms from which to search
  • Fields to enter a date range
  • A table field to display results

The following figure shows an example of the MFS:MultiFormSearch form, which is installed with AR System:
