The actions that XperienCentral users can perform in the Interactive Forms module are based on role permissions. Depending on what role a user is assigned, they can only perform actions on forms, form fragments, form logic providers (routers, validators and handlers) to which they have a permission. These permissions are granted to a user role in the Authorization dialog. An application manager can change the default permissions to grant more or fewer permission to a user role. The following table shows the default permissions for each Interactive Forms category for each user role.

...

*  Limited to the permission "Maintain Interactive Forms".

The category permissions shown in the table above are the XperienCentral default permissions. An application manager can of course choose to allow or disallow any permission at the category level or a specific permission or permissions within a category as they see fit depending on the circumstances of your deployment. If you are unsure whether you have a specific permission or would like to be granted a permission that you do not have, contact your application manager.

When you create a new variant, it inherits the permission of the original. You can override the permissions for variants on a case by case basis.

The following table summarizes the Interactive Forms permission categories:

...

• Create forms.
• Edit forms.
• Delete forms.
• Create versions of forms.
• Copy forms.
• Move forms between category.

...

• Maintain Interactive Forms.
• Maintain settings.
• Maintain variants.
• Maintain Interactive Forms workflow.
• Maintain imports.
• Maintain exports.
• Maintain categories.

Creating Categories

To create a category, follow these steps:

1. In XPerienCentral, navigate to Configuration > Interactive Forms.
2. In the Interactive Forms component, navigate to Settings > Categories.
3. Click [New]:
4. In the "Name" text box, highlight the text "New Category"
5. Enter a name for the new category.
6. In the Workflow section, select whether the forms contained within the new category inherit the workflow defined for all Interactive Forms or select "Define custom workflow" to create a workflow that is specific to the new category.
7. Click [Apply].
8. If you selected to create a custom workflow for the category, you can now assign roles to activities that are specific to this category of forms/form sections.

In both the "Forms" pane and the "Form Sections" pane, the new category is now shown. Categories are listed from top to bottom in alphabetical order. The "No Category" tree, containing non-categorized forms always appears below the list of categories. Next to the name of each category, the number of forms/form sections contained in that category is shown. In both examples below, the category does not yet contain any forms/form sections — this is indicated by the "(0)" to the right of the category name:
