Working with Startpoints working-with-startpoints

CAUTION
AEM 6.4 has reached the end of extended support and this documentation is no longer updated. For further details, see our technical support periods. Find the supported versions here.

A startpoint invokes a process created in Workbench. It is associated with a form which invokes the process when the form is submitted. See Geometrixx Finance Reference Site walkthrough to understand processes.

NOTE
The terms startpoints, start process, and form are used interchangably when referrring to this concept.

To initiate a process from the AEM Forms app, you need to have a startpoint of type Workspace in your process. Also, you need to select the Visible in Mobile Workspace option for the startpoint.

    The startpoint is associated with a form. Tap the startpoint associated form in the list to open it.

    The form associated with the startpoint opens.
