Solution Architecture

The following steps outline the high level back-end services that occur when forms are generated by running the Execute command in the Quik! Forms Engine:

1. Customer loads data and requests forms in Quik! Forms Engine
2. Quik! Forms Engine calls Quik! server via secure web services to validate and log form view requests
3. Quik! server responds to Quik! Forms Engine to generate the form
4. Quik! Forms Engine outputs the form as HTML and customer's web server serves the page to the end-user
5. The HTML file loads in a compliant browser to display the form
6. The client data is loaded into the form as well as optional JavaScript
7. 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.
