Jadu Central and Connect

Overview

Jadu enables UMN employees to create and manage online forms. Forms are easy to create and no coding is required. Jadu Forms is integrated with other systems, such as Peoplesoft, and can automatically pull data into your form. The forms also offer built-in integration with Perceptive Content.

Jadu Forms consists of two separate components: Jadu Central (forms) & Jadu Connect (workflow).

Forms (Jadu Central) is an easy-to-use web form builder. It is a secure and flexible non-technical tool to build accessible eForms.
Workflow (Jadu Connect) is used in conjunction with Jadu Central to create and manage form routing and approvals. The workflow functionality is created using business rules and logic, no coding required.
