Managing forms
An AutoStore form allows you to create a user interface for a capture component. Forms are accessible through menus and define fields that can capture information to be passed to subsequent process and route components in a workflow. Dedicated forms include fields required for sending captured documents to email, a folder, or to a SharePoint document library.
