This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app

However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.

Basics

Although the ConfiForms plugin offers 19 different Confluence macros to ease form construction, it requires only 2 macros to define a simple form, and just 1 to display it anywhere in your Confluence installation. The ConfiForms macros can be quickly reviewed by Inserting a new macro (press shift + { and begin typing ConfiForms to select the ConfiForms Form Definition macro quickly, or press ctl + shift + A in Edit mode in a Confluence page). 

Getting started

Here are a couple key concepts for understanding ConfiForms:

  • Forms are defined through two macros: "ConfiForms Form Definition" and "ConfiForms Field Definition"
  • The "ConfiForms Registration Control" macro both configures how the form should be displayed and enables the display. This macro enables displaying the form as a dialog, embedded in the page, or formatted using the layout defined. 
  • A form can have multiple "ConfiForms Registrations Control (FormView)" macros associated with it. This means you can show the form on different pages in different ways.
  • Data stored by the form can be used on different pages (using the View macros).  This allows you to control which fields are shown and how they are displayed. Fields can be configured by placing "ConfiForms Field" macros inside View* (TableView / CardView / CalendarView / ListView / PlainView / CleanView) macros.

These are the basic concepts you need to begin creating ConfiForms. When you have mastered these basics, there are many more useful features to explore. The ConfiForms plugin supports many scenarios and has been carefully integrated with other systems in Confluence, providing many customisation options.
