This element type is a set of Questions grouped together on a single screen. The group of Questions together form a logical unit. A Form Interaction element is similar in concept to a Choice List, in that it gives an aggregation to a set of related elements.

Each Question in a Form is assigned attributes in the same way in which a Question Interaction element is defined. However, the Questions are all defined within the Form element.

tog_minusSample Use Cases

•A Form can be used to represent a checklist of Questions representing tasks that need to be fulfilled before moving on in the Interaction. For example, in a medical setting, a set of checks must be completed before marking a bed as ready for a new patient. The Questions on the Form in this medical Interaction could be:

oIs the bed empty?

oHas the patient card holder been removed?

oHas the bed been cleaned? (and so on)

•A Form can be used in a self-service Interaction to enable the user to quickly enter personal details, such as name, email address, etc.
