  13. Map the fields added to the Generic Form Activity to the PDF form as follows.

    1. Select Settings → Job Settings → Forms and then select the activity created from the drop-down list.

      Note

      System fields that do not require an initial entry or update can also be mapped to the PDF form and displayed on the last page of the form wizard.

      These fields can be mapped to the PDF form and do not need to be added the Activity.

      For example: The applicant First Name and the applicant Last Name may be displayed on a form and not be captured in the Generic Form Activity.
