Draft Editor
The Draft Editor feature embeds a Draft Editor template interface allowing users to make changes to available pre-defined SmartCOMM templates as part of a form or workflow.
Use this feature in the form as a question type or in the workflow as a workflow state.
Note
To be able to use the Draft Editor feature, you should already have existing templates in SmartCOMM that the SmartIQ Draft Editor feature can refer to as well as set up SmartCOMM configuration settings.
Setting Up
To be able to use the Draft Editor feature as either a question type or workflow state, make sure the following have been done:
- Ensure that the SmartCOMM projects have been released and has existing templates that SmartIQ can refer to.
- Set up the SmartCOMM configuration settings in SmartIQ.
Single Sign On (SSO) Recommendation
Use SAML to seamlessly use SSO with the Draft Editor feature. If not enabled, there will be an additional step of signing in to the SmartCOMM environment every time you open the Draft Editor interface.
