Three application preferences must be enabled:
Form Field Sync: List of fields that will be synced for excluded forms
Dropdown: Show data from the forms
Starting Point: Enable prompting inside html5 viewer
Form Field Sync
Change the default so that form synchronization is off for all forms unless a form has explicitly been approved for sync automation. As a default, forms can have certain Quik! prefixes enabled/disabled for syncing within a bundle. Best practice would be to have syncing off by default. This avoids the issue where two forms within the same bundle may have the same field names, but different meanings. These issues typically present themselves on entity registration types where the owner field on the new account form and owner fields on other forms should not match.

Example: On an ACH/Transfer form for an entity account that has owner fields, these would usually be an Authorized Individual and not necessarily the primary owner (the entity). Only forms that have been explicitly reviewed by registration type and may have specific business rules built-in Forms Mapping should be allowed for syncing. This approach eliminates data syncing issues across forms. |

Enable Data from Other Work Item Forms
Add a feature to the Blue Arrow dropdown select that will allow selection from Client Folder data, as well as data entered on this or another form in pull data from other forms that have been filled out in the work item. This is helpful for an advisor when Advisor when filling out paperwork in a bundle, as it allows to re-use data entered on a form that is not yet stored in the client folderClient Folder.

Configure Form Fields for Synchronization
Usually, the form fields get automatically populated by the data available in Client Folders or in other forms. Also, when a user enters a value in a form, it is then written to the Client Folder or to other forms. As best practice, disable synchronization in one or both directions on all forms and then explicitly approve sync for specific form fields.
This avoids the issue where two forms within the same bundle may have the same field names, but different meanings. These issues typically present themselves on entity registration types where the owner field on the new account form and owner fields on other forms should not match.
