Forms are used to capture and present information. Many form elements are available, ranging from a simple textfield to more complex types such as form grids. |
In the sample HR Expenses Claim App, login as a normal employee (Cat) and click on the New Expenses Claim to see an expenses claim form. Fill up the form and click on Complete to submit.

| Datalists (or Lists for short*)* are tables or reports in tabular format, providing features such as paging, sorting, filtering and exporting. |
Logout and login as Cat's manager Clark, then click on Approver Inbox in the menu. The page displays a datalist showing the task inbox, in this case Clark will see a pending claim from Cat.

The task created shows a workflow process in action, where a task is routed to the appropriate person. The process may also involve integration to external systems such as sending emails or updating external databases. |
As Clark, click on the Approve Claim link to view and approve Cat's submission.
