You can open the publish dialog (see figure) by clicking on the button in the form menu or in the formcycle Designer. Various ways to publish the form are offered here. You can share forms directly via links or QR codes or embed them in your website or other platforms. Choose an option by clicking on it. You will receive a link or code snippet, accompanied with some instruction on how to use it.

formcycle offers you a variety of options to publish your forms.

Furthermore, you can customize the generated code snippets and links to your needs using form parameters. Click on the customize button to configure the options.

In order to invite a group of people to the form at once the feature personalized invitation can be utilized.

Form Alias-Link

For some types of publishing, such as Direct link, you have the option to customize the form alias (see figure) and can be freely defined. Please note that this must be unique. If the selected alias has already been assigned, a corresponding error message appears.

Click on the form alias to change it. The alias is part of the link to the form.

The form alias enables the generation of descriptive links and therefore more flexible customisation options in comparison to the provider link (example: https://localhost:8080/xima-formcycle/form/provide/2402/), in which the form ID is permanently set and cannot be edited.

Changing the form alias may invalidate links that are already in use. After changing the form alias, it is recommended to check already created links to this form and adjust them if necessary.

Parameters for AJAX integration

When integrating a form via the AJAX method, various details of the integration can be configured via parameters. The available parameters are the following, where in general via true and false is configured whether the corresponding option should be active or not:

Parameter name	Valid Parameter values	Description
xfc-rp-inline	true/false	Resolve used resources and integrate them directly inline inside the form
xfc-rp-form-only	true/false	Deliver form without HTML, BODY etc.
xfc-rp-keepalive	true/false	Enable keepalive mechanism for automatic session extension
~~xfc-rp-usecss~~	true/false	Deprecated since 8.3.8. Despite its name, the parameter only disabled certain built-in CSS files. With the form theme rework, built-in themes can now be disabled by not inheriting from the classic or modern theme. See also the parameters xfc-rp-useui and xfc-rp-theme.
xfc-rp-usejq	true/false	Embed jQuery
xfc-rp-useui	true/false	Embed jQueryUI
xfc-pp-external	true/false	External form request
xfc-pp-success-url	valid URL	URL to a web page to be navigated to after the form has been successfully lowered
xfc-pp-error-url	valid URL	URL to a web page to switch to if an error occurs when submitting the form
xfc-rp-theme	Canonical form theme identifier	Lets you change the form theme to another theme. Use the publish dialog to get the correct value, that dialog lets you select a theme, then shows you the value for this (and other) parameters.
