Installation

You can install the FlowForms plug-in by importing the sample application or by manually installing the plug-in (discouraged).

We discourage the manual import of the plug-in because it is more difficult to maintain and upgrade. We've created and tested a form builder that helps you easily create forms. This form builder is the starting point of every form you make.

Sample application

Import the sample application

  1. Log into your APEX application builder

  2. Click on the Import tile to start the APEX application installation wizard from the installation file

  3. Make sure the schema in which you want to install the sample application has REST enabled

  10. After the sample application installation is successful, the last step is to update the plug-in component settings for the RESTful service installed by the sample application.

You must configure the plug-in RESTful service to finish the sample application installation.

  1. Fill in the details as instructed in The plug-in REST service configuration
