Building applications
The following topics contain information on how to build and efficiently use applications in HCL Domino Leap.
Adding Stages to an application
It is often desirable to have an application, or form, transition through a set of phases or stages. At each stage the form might be used by different people in different roles. The form also might be presented in a slightly different manner in each stage, such as having some items or pages hidden, or in a read-only state.
Configuring behavior of a form on submission
Once a user completes an Domino Leap form, you can send them to another stage of that form.

Building applications
The following topics contain information on how to build and efficiently use applications in HCL Domino Leap.
- Creating an application
  This topic gives a general overview of the application creation process, from opening the Domino Leap interface to launching a completed application.
- Creating an application from an excel spreadsheet
  Domino Leap allows you to create an application from an excel spreadsheet, automatically creating the widgets and importing the data found in the spreadsheet.
- Styling your application with a custom theme
  Style the colors, fonts, and other characteristics of the application by creating or importing a custom theme.
- Moving items in an application
  Form items are not static after they are added to a form. You can move items around on a single page, duplicate form items, and move items between pages on your form.
- Copying items
  Items may be copied from one form to another form within any application.
- Creating an accessible application
  When you create an application, the following information helps you make it accessible for users with disabilities.
- Enabling dynamic layout
  When you build applications, you can now set the display width of your Domino Leap application. Setting this feature reduces or removes the need for horizontal scrolling when you have an unknown or limited amount of space.
- Globalization features
  The following information describes the languages formatting features supported by Domino Leap.
- Creating rules in your application
  Rules help you gather the correct information from users and organize your information after data is entered in a form or app page. You can create composite rules that govern how your form or app page - and the data in it it - behaves.
- Labeling data, performing data analysis, and exporting data
  You can add labels to data elements in your application that become the label in the export file.
- Incorporating services into your applications
  The following topics describe how to incorporate services into your Domino Leap application.
- Adding formulas to your application
  Use formulas to assign values to items on an HCL Domino Leap form or app page. They are divided into two categories: Item Formulas, which list formulas created from the Properties panel, and General Formulas, which list complex formulas created from the Settings tab.
- Adding specialized items
  You can use specialized form or app page items to style text, echo text back, create dynamic lines, or add HTML.
- Managing the files associated with your application
  You can upload a variety of files, such as images, for use with your application. Managing these embedded files is done in the Files section of the Settings tab
- Domino Leap document integration
  HCL Domino Leap's document integration feature lets you use previously built PDF files and populate them with data captured by Domino Leap in a Domino Leap form.
- Adding Stages to an application
  It is often desirable to have an application, or form, transition through a set of phases or stages. At each stage the form might be used by different people in different roles. The form also might be presented in a slightly different manner in each stage, such as having some items or pages hidden, or in a read-only state.
  - Editing the message a user sees upon form submission
    The administrator of an Domino Leap application can edit the completion message a user sees when submitting a form.
  - Redirecting users after form submission
    The administrator of an Domino Leap application can add a URL that is triggered when a form is submitted.
  - Sending an email after a user submits a form
    You can send email notifications to managers or other users by adding an activity to the Submit button in a form.
  - Populating information upon form submission using a web service
    Web services can perform many functions, such as sending data to other forms or applications. The following instructions describe how to use a web service to add information to a form automatically after it is submitted.
  - Assigning users to a role after submission
    You can assign users to roles dynamically using a web service with data, or metadata captured from the form.
  - Configuring behavior of a form on submission
    Once a user completes an Domino Leap form, you can send them to another stage of that form.
  - Scenario: hidden or read-only form items in Stages
    This scenario uses a Vacation Request application to describe how to use multiple Stages to make sections of a form that is either hidden, or read-only.
- Deploying applications and viewing responses
  After a Domino Leap application is built it must be deployed. After it is deployed, you can supply users with the URL of the application so they can launch it. After users submit completed forms, you can view the responses.

Configuring behavior of a form on submission

Once a user completes an Domino Leap form, you can send them to another stage of that form.

About this task

After a user submits a form, you can show them the next stage of a form. For example, to confirm what they submitted by pressing a confirmation button, or to show a read-only copy of the information they submitted. You can also limit authenticated users from submitting multiple forms.

Procedure

Click the Workflow tab.
Click the area outside the outline in the Workflow view.
The form Properties displays on the side of the screen.
In the Upon Submission: section, choose one of the following options:
- Show the success message page
- Show the success message in a dialog and then display a new form
- show the success message in a dialog and then display the next stage of the form
