Using Scripts in the Groove Forms Tool

  • Article

You can use form scripts to add custom script code to your Groove Forms Tool. These scripts are run when the user is accessing the form. Scripts make it possible for you to extend the capabilities of the Forms tool to handle specialized application requirements.

In addition to standard HTML Document Object Model (DOM) script programming, your scripts can do the following:

  • Run when certain Forms events occur, such as form initialization and submitting new or updated data.

  • Access Groove services to get context information such as the members of the workspace, or to perform methods such as sending an instant message.

  • Access data in the underlying Forms record.

  • Perform lookups on data in the current tool, or in other Groove Forms tools, or in InfoPath Forms tools in the same or other workspaces.

  • Define a function that is executed to provide an initial value for a field.
