NC4 - E Team - R9.8 E Team Form Builder - Form Builder - Introduction and Overview

You must be a member of the ETeam System Admin or ETeam FormbuilderAccess group to have the ability to select the Form Builder option listed under Administration on your E Team menu.

Form Builder Manager is available in both Operations and Training and forms must be managed as needed in each. If the user is logged into Operations then Form Builder Manager will be identified as Operations and all activities during that session will against Operations. Forms used in both operations and training can created/updated in either may be exported and imported into the other.

From the Form Builder Manager the user will have the ability to:
