Dynamic Forms — Additional Features

Dashboard widgets, dark mode, permissions, submission layout, and preview title.

Written by James Ross

Overview

This article covers additional Dynamic Forms features including dashboard widgets, dark mode support, form permissions, and submission page layout.

Dynamic Form Widget on Dashboard

You can display form submission data on your ProcessPro dashboard:

Quick Steps

  • Open a dashboard and enter edit mode

  • Add the Dynamic Form widget from the widget library

  • Configure the widget to show submissions for a specific form

  • Save the widget configuration

The widget displays recent submissions. Click on a submission in the widget to navigate directly to the submission details.

Dark Mode Support

The form designer fully supports dark mode / dark themes:

  • Enable dark mode in Personal Settings

  • Open the form designer — it loads in dark mode

  • Verify the following areas are readable with proper contrast:

    • Field palette — all field type icons and labels are visible

    • Canvas — fields are clearly visible with appropriate contrast

    • DCM — property labels, inputs, and buttons are readable

Form Permissions

Dynamic Forms respects ProcessPro's permission system:

  • Users with form edit permission can create, edit, and delete forms

  • Users with view-only permission can see forms but cannot:

    • Change form associations on processes

    • Edit form fields or properties

    • Delete forms

When a view-only user navigates to a process activity with an associated form, the form selection is disabled or the edit action is not available. The existing association remains unchanged.

Important: If a user cannot change a form association, verify their permission level. Form edit permission is separate from process edit permission.

Submission Page Layout

The form submission page is designed for a clean user experience:

  • The form occupies the full available width

  • Field labels and inputs are properly aligned

  • The layout adapts responsively to different browser widths without overlapping elements

  • Action buttons (Submit, Save Progress, Cancel) have consistent heights

  • On the review page, Approve and Reject buttons are visually aligned and the same height

Preview Title

When previewing a form, the preview title displays the actual form name — not a generic label like "Form Preview". For example, a form named "Employee Onboarding Form" shows that exact title in the preview.
