Interface editor: user data gathering and transfer to the Displayforce Manager

Examples of use:

• user’s evaluation of the service quality "Like/Dislike" (with motivation);
• notification about opening of a certain screen (stage) in the project template;
• etc.

To use this option, the following setup is required:

1. Create a form for data gathering.
2. Set up method for receiving user data.
3. Set up method for sending data to the Displayforce Manager of the account connected to the project.

All settings are made in the "Actions" tab of the layer or screen selected.

Prior to the actions described below, the component should have an interface prepared, through which data from users at media display points will be gathered and sent to the Displayforce Manager.

To create data gathering form and configure data receiving:

1. Select any layer or screen (stage) that should preserve data in a form. It may be a button that saves selected value upon clicking, or event of screen opening, etc.   
2. In the Properties panel, open the "Actions" tab and click the action adding button. 
3. Select "Set variable value to form".
4. Select the added action from the list of actions.
5. In the "Form" field select "New form…"                                              
6. Type in the form name and click "Create".                                
7. The new form will be created and automatically selected in the "Form" field. The new form will now be available for selection in all layers and screens of the template. After that, data saving to form is set.                                                                         
8. In the "Type" field, select the data storage method (If you find it hard to make a choice, leave the default value):

• Static – default value;
• Shared object – if using API in embedded flash-applications (shared storage accessible by both player and flash/AIR-application).
• Camera object.
• Depending on the value selected in the "Type" field, fill in values of the remaining fields:

• For "Static": fields "Variable" and "Value", for name and value respectively of the variable to be stored in the form.

• For "Shared object": fields "Variable", "Name", and "Value path".
• For "Camera object": the "Variable" field.

• Data receiving will be set up.
• Repeat the steps above for other layers and screens that should also generate data for this form. In doing so, instead of creating a new form in the "Form" field, use the one already created.
• Click "Apply" or "OK" to save the changes made.

To set up data transfer:

1. Select the layer or stage (screen) needed.   
2. In the Properties panel, open the "Actions" tab and click the action adding button.
3. Select the event required, then select "Send form to account".         
4. Select the added action in the list of actions.                                      
5. In the "Form" field, select the form you need to send data from.                 
6. Data transfer will be set up.
7. Click "Apply" or "OK" to save the changes made.

Upon tapping/clicking the configured layer or on the event selected in the screen settings, the component will send data from the selected form to the Displayforce Manager.

To remove a data receiving or sending action:

1. Select the layer or stage (screen) needed.                             
2. In the Properties panel, open the "Actions" tab and select the action to be deleted from the list of actions.
3. Click the action removal button.                                               
4. The action will be removed.
5. Click "Apply" or "OK" to save the changes made.

Receiving or sending data, depending on what was configured, will be stopped.

Forms are removed from project template in the template settings: menu "Template", section "Template settings…", tab "Forms".
