Creating a form page in CMS Lite

Last updated on August 2, 2022

To make the form available for testing or to the public, you need to create a form page in CMS Lite.

Setting up a form page

There are three steps to setting up a form page in CMS Lite:

  1. Create a form page
  2. Configure the form page
  3. Add the metadata

Once you've completed these steps and saved the page, your form is ready for testing in the Quality Assurance (QA) environment of CMS Lite. This area is accessible to anyone with an IDIR. This is typically how you would test the form with the business area that owns the form, and any internal interested parties.
