Objectives

• To be able to understand the difference between a User and a Form Designer
• To be able to understand the difference between using a Form and Designing a Form

What is a User?

A WordFusion User uses Forms to (Fill-In data) and creates documents from the assembled information.

The WordFusion Library holds a number of standard Forms from which a selection can be made to enter data.

Word Fusion in Action

For example, Word Fusion can help improve the efficiency and accuracy of a company's debt collection department. Before WordFusion was available a debt management officer that was in the process of sending demands to overdue Debtors had to manually create each correspondence entering the customers details, amounts and other personal detail each time. This potentially introduces errors and inconsistencies with previous correspondence. Further more if the Correspondence was for a 90 day account rather than a 30 day account then the correspondence may require an optional clause citing extra penalties. This is an example of a business rule that WordFusion is perfectly designed to manage.

Typical Form Example

What is a Form Designer?

A WordFusion Form Designer can do everything a User can, but has the additional ability to also Design new Forms and to customise existing Forms. This functionality is only available in WordFusion Pro.

Creating and Customizing Forms

From

A WordFusion Designer can customize the Library sample Forms modifying the existing fields of add new controls and fields to customize the look and functionality of the Form.

What does using a Form Mean?

Using a Form means that a User enters data through a series of prompts and drop down boxes in specific places to then produce a document. This helps the user enter and submit information in a consistent, systematic way and reduces the likelihood of data-entry errors and improves the overall process of gathering similar information from different users.

What does designing a Form mean?

Designing a Form gives the User an option of customising the set fields and information required to suit an individual business needs. The controls, labels and instructional text can all be manipulated to change the way the Forms look, and mandatory fields can be entered to notify Users when they have made mistakes in the form or forget to fill in a field required.

Conclusion

WordFusion is an easy to use library of standard Forms that a User can make a selection from to enter data for standard documents. It uses easy to follow toolbars and prompts to provide a user friendly interface. This version is available at a cost of $50 per licence and would primarily be used by Administration Assistants and Temporary Staff. This version does not include any design features and is for User entry only.

WordFusion Pro is designed for Users who wish to not only use the built in Library but to also create and modify Forms specific to individual requirements. It incorporates all the functions that are available in WordFusion basic but with additional toolbars and wizards to customise specific forms. Once you've finalized the design of a Form, you can share it with others by saving it to the Library.
