Creating a Dynamic Application Web Form

You can create web pages for dynamic applications in workspaces. Doing this gives users the ability to add application items from the form, without logging in to PPM.

For example, if you create a dynamic application called Support that tracks customer support requests, you can create a web form to allow users to request support from your company web page. Support requests submitted from that web form are dynamic application items that can be viewed and managed in the Support dynamic application in PPM.

The Configure Web Form page automatically generates the HTML code that is necessary to create a web form. Simply specify the dynamic application fields to include in the form, and then copy the generated HTML code into an HTML editor.

Create a dynamic application web form from within the workspace that contains the dynamic application.

Note: You can only create a dynamic application web form if you were given the Manage Web Form permission when the dynamic application was created. For more information, see Creating a Dynamic Application - Permissions.
