> #### 4.8.1 Working with forms

> You can use forms to transmit data from one user to another. This medium of this data transmission is the Interstage BPM process instance. The information that you enter in forms is saved into the current process instance and will appear in other work items of the process instance that are assigned to other users.

> If you have defined user-defined attributes (UDAs) in your Interstage BPM process definitions and no QuickForm is associated with a certain activity, the default form will display in its work item. If you have created a form on the activity, that form will display in its work item. This section provides instructions on using forms.

> To use forms

> 1. With the work item displayed, scroll to the bottom of the work item where the form is located.

> Figure 33: The Work Item Form

> 2. Click in the field of the form to which you want to add or change information and enter the value desired for that data item. Then, click Save.

> The information that you enter will be saved into the current process instance and will appear in other work items of the process instance. However, it will not appear in new process instances started from the same Interstage BPM process definition. Data that you enter is associated only with the current process instance. Note that the name Pat Smith has been entered into the Name field of the example.
