Form Builder - Intro

Simplifying human and robot collaboration. Design professional looking forms
for assisted automation using the Form Builder and customize with advanced
styling options to match your process and branding.

Purposes

1.    Form builder facilitates the user to create customizable forms that will help
consolidate and enter values during execution of the robot and with the values,
decide the sequence of workflows that has to be executed. So, even before storing
data, if user can create the forms as per requirement, it would be easy for them to
collect or pass information seamlessly.

2.     This is extremely helpful in validations, or quickly collecting missed out details, etc.
Additionally, the user will be able to group multiple forms in a workflow using simple
drag and drop activities.

3.     The forms can be created swiftly and creatively, based on individual needs.  It cannot
get simpler than this, because there is no necessity to create variables or get into
complex steps. 

4.     Due to the many font styles and sizes, various background and font colors, provision
for icons and headers, resizing and positioning, the forms can be customized as creatively
as possible.
