CXM Forms are the logical grouping of fields available to XFP at the time of creating and editing a case.
Form Types
Case Types have two default forms that are already created for you.
- Create form: this form determines which fields are available in the initial XFP form when it creates a new case.
- Edit form: this form determines which fields are available in the subsequent CXM forms when they edit an existing case.
Notes:
- If the data stored in CXM will not update in any of the subsequent XFP forms, you do not need to add it to the edit form in CXM.
- For example: the initial form submitter's name (stored in CXM as Requested By) shouldn't change in subsequent XFP forms. Therefore it is only needed on the create form so the data gets to CXM and can pull down to view in subsequent XFP forms.
- If a field is on the CXM edit form and does not map to a field in the XFP Edit Case template, it will be cleared out in CXM when XFP edits the case.

Reordering fields on a form
Fields can be re-ordered on a form by dragging and dropping to their desired position. The order displays in the XFP Create Case and Edit Case templates when mapping XFP fields to CXM forms.
