Overview
The Forms Matrix Domain is used to package one or multiple forms for specific products. The system compares a user’s selections in Starting Point to the rules in the Forms Matrix domain.

Best Practices
Add a Form(s) to All Work Items
Fill out the Request Group and Forms fields, and set Required to either Yes
or No
. This will add the form(s) to every Work Item created with the matching Request Group.

Example: A forms matrix record has no Vendor/Custodian associated with it. The system will add the associated forms regardless of what users select in the Vendor/Custodian field value the users select. |
Create an Optional and Required Bundle
First, create the Required version of the Forms Matrix record. Next, copy the record. Finally, set Required to No
and change the forms.
