Dynamic HTML forms express building
About this good practice
In order to make possible for businesses and professionals to fill out data that the administrations does not hold, it becomes a necessity to have forms in HTML format. They can also be used on any device (mobile and tablets) and thus not depend on Adobe versions in the pdf forms.
Currently in the OSS catalog, there is around 2000 procedures forms in electronic pdf format. Such forms, once the business owner completes them, signs them and puts them forwards through the private area, this forms arrive to a file corporate management tool that holds and organizes all information from all fields of the forms. This means that public employees can review the data and documentation provided and generate the corresponding authorization, certification, card, amongst other items.
To make possible the comprehensive management of files based on the available data and to improve the user experience, it is necessary to transform the electronic forms in PDF to HTML. The construction of HTML forms is very complex and requires specialized and advanced knowledge. These conditions make the aforementioned transformation an expensive and slow process.
The Office of Business Management, facing such volume and in order to speed up the process, developed a new functionality that allows an HTML template that contains the generic data groups to add the specific data fields of each modality automatically through a call to the OSS’s corporate file processing tool (TEI).
Resources needed
The new functionality has been developed by the provider in charge of maintaining the Private Area (Canal Empresa), in coordination with the technical team that maintains the framework of corporate files.
Evidence of success
As of today, the Office of Business Management counts with 495 forms on the works for the clients to use and we are working on the transformation of the rest.
Potential for learning or transfer
This way of building dynamics HTML forms from the information fields that are already configured in the management system can be applied to other file processors. As a matter of fact, the corporate management of subsidy files has also introduced the material solution based on our experience.
