Once a Dynamic Form is published, you will need to create a workflow using the process designer. The process designer is an essential step, it will help you –

  1. Choose the work area (Manage Forms page, Manage Activities page, Smart Views, etc.) where you want to display your forms. For example, once you have published a Dynamic Form for a loan product, you can use the process designer to make it available on the Manage Leads page.
