The iService forms interface is a relatively new component of iService that was introduced last year. We still struggle with calling this component “Forms”, because it is much more powerful than a traditional web form. In fact, it represents a significant part of the future product road map for iService.
The forms interface allows users to very quickly build customized web forms that interact directly with the iService system. These forms can be as simple as an HTML page with no actions, or as complex as a complete question submission and workflow process. The forms are based on HTML, so you have complete control of the layout and design of the user experience. Predefined iService variables allow you to easily retrieve information from iService, such as:
Logged In User Details (User Name, User ID, Session ID)
Topic Tree Details
Find Answers Article Details
Subscription Details (Mailing lists, Campaigns, Find Answers Aricle Subscriptions)...
