eForms Setup

Use eForms Setup to inactivate or activate forms for use in eForms Manager. If you have forms that you don't use you can inactivate them so they do not appear in lists. This is especially helpful in hiding state-specific forms where you do not do business.

You must have proper authorization to access eForms Setup.

Filtering the Data in the Columns

Each column of the eForms Setup grid includes a data filter similar to AutoFilter found in Microsoft Excel™ . Click the arrow () in the header to display a list of items found in that column. You can then select an individual item or create a custom selection as in the example below.

Example: If you only do business in Washington and want to hide all other states-specific forms except WA, you can do the following:

Selecting Multiple Rows

To quickly inactivate or active a group of forms you can use the <CTRL> and Shift keys to select individual rows or a group of adjacent rows. When you have selected multiple rows you can click Make InactiveorMake Activeand all the selected rows are set.

Rearranging Columns

You can move the columns in the grid so they appear in any order you want. To do this, click on a column header and drag it to the new location and release the mouse button.

The column order is reset to the default order each time eForms Setup is opened.

Resizing Columns

You can change the size of any column by pointing to the left or right edge of the column header. When the pointer turns to a double-arrow, click and hold the mouse while dragging the column border to the size you want. When you have the desired size, release the mouse button.

The column size is reset to the default size each time eForms Setup is opened.
