eForm
An electronic form — a structured data-capture interface that produces a document on submission.
eForm
An eForm (electronic form) is a structured data-capture interface defined in Papyrus's form designer. Users fill the form; on submission, a document is generated containing the captured data, and (optionally) a workflow is triggered.
eForms are common for:
- Leave requests
- Expense claims
- New supplier registration
- Service request tickets
- Feedback and surveys
- Onboarding intake (HR)
- Patient registration (Healthcare)
- Loan applications (SACCO)
Form fields can be: text, number, date, currency, single-select, multi-select, file upload, GPS capture, signature. Fields can be required, conditional (visible only if another field has a specific value), and validated (regex, range, etc.).
eForms produce two artefacts: the captured submission (a queryable data record) and the rendered document (a PDF, suitable for archiving and signing).
