Forms/Reports Creation - Posted: October 2, 2006 - 3:44 PM Quote and reply
Is there any tool to let the users create and maintain forms and printable reports ?
(For example: HR vacation request forms, I.T. changes requests, etc etc.)

There is the sitellite/util/custom box, but it's meant to be used with the pro edition boxchooser (although you can call it directly like any box in Sitellite).

It lets you select from a list of form fields and then it saves the results to the form submissions collection and sends an email out.

Printable reports would be something you'd have to add on top of that though.

Anything that links the forms to a table, like Qcodo for example ?

The form is linked to the form submissions collection, which is simply a front-end add/edit/browse interface over a sitellite_form_submissions database table, so yes this does allow you to build custom forms and save the results to the db. From there you just need to write some boxes that make reports from that db table.

What I'm looking for is something similar to the Sitellite XED tool.
Does that box work like the Sitellite XED ?

In Sitellite pro edition, the customized form box is available via the box chooser which is part of Xed, as in it will let you embed a customized form into your page in the Xed editor yes.
