Tabbed view for viewing the submitted eForms

A new tabbed view is added to view the eForms submitted data. Earlier the submitted eForm was opened in a popup, switching between different submissions was hard. Tabbed view provides an easy way to open multiple form submissions and switching between them.

On the eForm Dashboard, click in the View Data

Attaching Metadata to File

Metadata can be attached to a file by creating eForm data for a file in the user account.

On the My Document view we have a menu option on file/folder Create eForm Data.

Uponselecting this menu option an eForm selection window is displayed to the user. User then selects the eForm to be linked to the file and enters metadata for the file.

 These were listed at the top with clickable links so that users can download them. However, no file operations were possible on these linked files.

 

A new Linked file view is added to the eForms view data. In the tabbed view itself, if there are any files linked to the eForm, they will be displayed at the right panel.
