Automatic Form Assignment via What Codes

When a What code is assigned to a fillable form, when you schedule a particular type of event, it automatically has a fillable form associated with it. The fillable form will be assigned to the event as soon as you schedule an event with that code. Later, you can start the fillable form with one click.

You assign What codes to fillable forms using the WhatCode-to-Form Associations window. To open the window, select File > Setup > What codes To Forms.

From this window you can add, edit or delete an assignment of a What code to a fillable form.
