COTG or workflow to create a form

Hi,

I need to create a webform, but I’m not sure how to approach this.

This is the scenario:

  1. setup a webform where you can fill in data and request/modify data from a table in MySQL
  2. submit the form and send output to workflow to further process it.

Are there examples around on how to build this in Connect?

I prefer only using Connect since we don’t have a licence for COTG.

kind regards,

Koen

You could setup a web Template (no need of COTG in this project unless you want it to run on tablet, phone, etc…).

Once you form is loaded up on the Web you could use Ajax call, to a Workflow process, that would return you the data from your DB. Then you would use that data to fill-up your list in your Web form. Upon submit, the selection of the user would be returned to Workflow for you do handle it.

I am afraid I know not of any example.

thank you for your answer, I will have a look into this.

I am only wondering what the benefit is of Connect in stead of making a template from scratch.
