Create the Applicant Approval Form State

We want to add extra fields to the Denallix College Application to allow the administration officer to action the application. To do this we need to add two buttons to the Form and modify the rules.

1. Double click on the Denallix College Application Form in the Category tree.
2. Select the Controls tab in the Context browser. Locate the Action section.
3. Drag a button control onto the canvas under the last view and drop it in the marked drop zone.
4. In Properties change the Name and Text field to Approved.
5. Drag another button next to the Approved button and name it Declined.
   
6. Click on the Rules step in the Form wizard navigation.
7. Click on the Add State button on the toolbar.
   
8. Type Applicant Approval in the Name field and click OK.
   

   There are now two states to this Form. The (Base State) which is the original Form and now the Applicant Approval state, which will be the Enrollment officer’s task Form.

9. We need to edit the (Base State) to hide the buttons from the student. Click on (Base State) in the States pane.
10. Select the When the Form is Initializing rule and click the Edit Rule button.
11. Click on the Actions option in the rule wizard navigation.

18. Select the Form is Initializing rule and select the Edit Rule button.
