Generating Public Link on App Creation

Forms/Apps created on Asite Workspaces can be publicly accessed if external access is allowed for the Apps.

 External Access for the Apps can be set via Apps Settings by users having appropriate permissions.

 

The following steps outline the process of generating Public Link on App creation:

 

1. Click on the icon on Workspace Home page or Apps Listing page against the App type. The Apps setting of "Allow External Access" for the particular App should be set to Yes.

 

 

2. Enter RFI Title, User Reference Code & RFI Content in fields provided.

 Respond By date may also be available depending on the type of Form chosen - Some Forms do not require Respond By date.

 

3. Click on to spell check the contents entered in the form.

 The contents will be spell checked only on clicking the spell check icon if "On Request" option is selected in  form settings

 The contents will be automatically spell checked if "On Saving Form" option is selected in  form settings

    

4. Click on the  icon to select a Respond By Date.

 

5.  Click on icon to distribute to other team members within the Workspace team.

 It is mandatory to select at least one user in the distribution list if the Form setting of "Allow Distribution" is set to Mandatory.

 Once the App is created, all the paper users to whom the form is distributed, a unique public link, with a message icon will be generated per Paper user.
