The following steps outline the high level back-end services that occur when the QFE is in useforms are generated by running the Execute command in the Quik! Forms Engine:
- Customer loads data and requests forms in QFEQFE Quik! Forms Engine
- Quik! Forms Engine calls Quik! server via secure web services to validate and log form view requests
- Quik! server responds to QFE Quik! Forms Engine to generate the form
- QFE Quik! Forms Engine outputs the form as HTML and customer's web server serves the page to the end-user
- The HTML file loads in a compliant browser to display the form
- The client data is loaded into the form as well as optional JavaScript
- Forms can be submitted back to the customer's server for processing, storage and/or communication
NOTE: Not all web services or system interactions are displayed in this graphic. For example, when printing a form a PDF is generated by the Quik! server which will send form data to Quik! for a very short period of time (data is never stored) so a PDF can be returned.
