Concepts Made Obsolete by Quik! Forms Engine v5.x

CustomerUserID

In all versions of the Quik! Web Forms Engine, the customer must submit their proprietary Customer UserID (a unique ID for their user) when requesting a form. Quik! then validates that user account against a product license. To simplify managing requests, this component was removed.

Submit and Save URL Management

Submit and Save URLs were originally managed in the Quik! Customer Central application for the QWFE must now be entered directly into the software as a property.

Production vs. QA vs. Development Environments

The customer can control their implementation environment directly within the software by virtue of the values passed to the software. This value is no longer a property of the software and is not used in the Quik! Forms Engine.

Software Still In Use By This Software (Quik! Forms Engine Version 5.0)

Forms Web Services

In order to display forms to users, the web services that deliver form meta data are still in use and unchanged but newer ones are available under a new URL.See the Web Service section of this document for details.
NOTE: As web services are updated, the existing web services remain operational and untouched to ensure customers do not have to upgrade their systems in order to keep operating. Instead, entirely NEW web services are constructed, and the updated web services (and methods) are given a version extension ("_vXXXX). Any methods within the web services that do not have a version number are identical to the original web service method.
The current version for most services is 52025300.
