Efficient Technology Inc. maintains a library of thousands of forms with constant updates and new additions. In addition, ETI is leading the way in terms of developing form automation standards for the entire industry, requiring ETI to be flexible and immediately responsive.

Each new form that is delivered to be built offers new opportunities for the Quik! Field Definition to change and grow in order to meet new demands and requirements.

When taking considering the constantly changing environment of forms into consideration along with and the breadth of the Quik! Field Definition (over 1.2 million fields as of Summer 2023), : it has become relatively impossible to build every form to perfection or to take advantage of each new field added to the definition. In fact, adding Adding a field to the definition takes careful planning in order to train the form builders, update Quik! software, update existing forms with the new fields, and roll out the changes to the industry.

Form Building Principles:

As a result of the complexity involved with forms automation, ETI Quik! employs the following principles when building forms:

• The "Standard" Service Level is intended to make it easy to pre-fill standard form fields (not premium form fields)

• The "Premium" Service Level is

  intended

  for

  the purpose of

  submitting data electronically from the form

  ,

  but not for pre-filling purposes.

  • "User Defined Fields" are an option the Quik! team can create for

    customer

    “customer-

    only

    only” forms when

    a customer needs a field defined that

    Quik! does not

    deem should be in

    find the field common enough to add to the Quik! Field

    Definition (usually because the field is unique to that form)

    definition.

• ETI uses its best efforts to ensure forms adhere to the Quik! Form Standard and appropriate service

  level

  levels by putting each form through a rigorous process of pre-build, build, test, review, and final review by the form owner (optional).

• ETI will fix form field errors and treat the fixes as a high priority.

• The Quik! Field Definition allows for the ability to "bundle" or merge multiple Quik! Forms into a single document (form bundle), creating links between repetitive fields across the forms.

• When a field on a form does not match a field defined in the Quik! Field Definition

  ,

  : the field is given a random field name with a prefix name that reflects the form's naming convention (e.g., NFSVC2349.FieldName1).
