Overview of Workplace Forms v2.6 and 2.7
Workplace Forms™ is a suite of products that allows organizations to use electronic forms to gather information from users and transmit that information to other systems. Workplace Forms can be used as the front-end for any business process, such as opening a new account. When a customer enters their information into a form and submits it for processing, their information could pass into a workflow application (such as WebSphere® Business Integration), a database (such as DB2 Universal Database™ or DB2® Content Manager), or any other type of application or process.
There are three products in the Workplace Forms suite:
- Workplace Forms Viewer
- Workplace Forms Designer
- Workplace Forms Server
1. Viewer

In a typical scenario, the user goes to a Web site and clicks on a link to open a form within their browser. In this scenario, the Viewer automatically opens as a browser plug-in. The Viewer can also be used as a standalone application, independent of any browser.
