The most important aspect of creating a form guide is determining what information you need to collect from your users. Your original form design likely contains fields for capturing all of the necessary data. However, it may contain additional fields or information that is unnecessary for form fillers. You can omit any fields from the form guide that are not relevant to the form filler. You can also use display rules and answer-based navigation to create optional panels that appear only when required.
A form guide is organized into a hierarchy that organizes the content into logical, related groups of fields and text. When you determine what information you need to collect, you must consider how to structure the various text and fields that you add from your original form design. However, the form guide hierarchy does not have to match the form design layout or structure.
At the highest level, a guide stores all of the information for a particular form guide. You can create multiple form guides for each form design to handle different scenarios. You can also add help text or video for a form guide.
Within a guide, you create one or more sections that contain data entry panels. Use sections to organize the panels into logical, related groups. You can also create nested sections.
Data entry panels are the containers into which you add text and form objects from the original form design. You can also add help text or video, display rules, answer-based navigation, or utility objects to a data entry panel.
When the form guide is rendered, the form guide hierarchy appears in the navigation panel of the form guide layout. The form filler uses the hierarchy to navigate through the form guide. When the form filler clicks a panel name in the hierarchy, the associated data entry panel appears.
The following illustration shows the form guide hierarchy for the immunization sample. The immunization form guide includes several sections that each contain several data entry panels. When the form filler clicks a section in the hierarchy, the section expands and the list of panels appears. When the form filler clicks a panel in the hierarchy, the selected data entry panel appears.
