The new Form Builder allows multi-pages web-based forms and form fields to be constructed with great ease.

Forms are designed visually via a drag-and-drop web-based interface. Standard HTML form components like text box, text area, radio button, checkbox are supported.Advance and composite components like repeatable rows, sections, reference ID field are also supported.

Configuring sophisticated options to form components in a point-and-click manner is equally easy and intuitive.

Some of the options available to form components are:

• Standard Appearance Attributes - width, height, color, alignment, arrangement.
• Conditional visibility - components hide/show based on user-specified conditions or values.
• Table lookup for option-based components - form components like dropdown dynamically loads its selection choices during runtime.
• Assign validation rules to components.
• Role-based access control of form segments by user role - segments of forms are hidden or shown depending on the roles assigned to user looking at the form.

Besides being a visual designer of web-based forms, Ecquaria SOP™ 6.0 Form Builder comes integrated with an intuitive and high-level business workflow designer. User is able to construct routing rules for the corresponding form via a drag-and-drop interface.

Each step, chosen from an extensible set of stage components and pre-defined rules, can be dragged and added to the workflow in both a sequential and concurrent manner.

Form Engine interprets and executes form definitions to provide a rich user experience, and at the same time, perform form routing based on desired business routing rules.

Ecquaria SOP™ 6.0 went one step further, to attempt to provide the Form Builder not just as a rapid development tool for developers, but also as an enabler to allow even non tech-savvy end user to construct, deploy and manage

WorkSpace is added to give all users within the Ecquaria SOP™ 6.0 ecosystem, a unified infrastructure for managing routed forms and tasks, notifications and shared/common work trays. It provides a consistent and easy-to-use interface for all work the users handle on a daily basis.

Users are able to manage, view or act on their assigned tasks within the WorkSpace. Incomplete tasks can be saved as drafts; submitted/completed tasks will be moved to Outbox.

Tasks are configured and are assigned with Service Level Agreement (SLA) which are made to catch the user's attention when the tasks are about to be overdue.

The concept of Common Tray is introduced to allow tasks co-owned by a group of users, usually assuming the same system role, to be pooled together in a named tray. Any user in that group, can then decide to "pick up" and take ownership of one or more of the pooled tasks.

Alternatively, tasks in the common pool can be distributed to users within the group via typical round robin algorithm.

WorkSpace interface is refreshed to be a Facebook-like user interface. WorkSpace provides in-built self-service or self-help capabilities modeled to support a multi-agency or governed environment.

As there are multi-agency needs etc., WorkSpace follows government security best practices such as for passwords,login requirements etc.

Integrated Web Environment (IWE) gives system administrators and end users alike, a rich post-login platform for accessing all the hosted eServices in the system.

It comes with an access controlled menu system so that users only get to see and run eServices that is hosted and granted rights to them.

The Menu administrative sub-module allows system administrators to add, modify or remove menus and/or menu items to the system and at the same time determine who can or cannot access these menu items. The IWE has highly configurable themes and layout profiles for different sets of users. It also includes the ability to manage user's own profile and password.

Finally, it provides the developers ease of creating user session sensitive applications and eServices. By using the APIs provided by IWE, developers have access to the logged-in user's credentials and other data.

Ecquaria Service Integration Tool™ (Ecquaria SIT™) is the tool developer uses to create and deploy Ecquaria SOP™ Processes. The main bulk of Ecquaria SOP™ experience lies with Ecquaria SIT™.

The Service Integration Tool™ is introduced in this release as an Eclipse Plug-in. This move of integrating with the popular IDE Eclipse is a huge leap in enhancing the developers' experience in developing in Ecquaria SOP™.

Developers are now able to leverage on the powerful editing and platform features offered by Eclipse, such as syntax highlighting, application server integration, ANT integration, web page design tool, database connection tools, CVS integration tool, to name a few.

A major component in Ecquaria SIT™ is the canvas in which Ecquaria SOP™ processes are graphically represented and edited. As a plug-in, Ecquaria SIT™ is able to tap on the comprehensive editing platform and libraries as offered by Eclipse's Graphical Editing Framework (GEF). Adoption of this framework is translated into a rich and satisfying user experience for the developers.

A new Job Scheduler framework is added to the list of administrative tools offered by System Management Console (SMC).

The Job Scheduler framework allows administrators to add and monitor job schedulers on an ad- hoc basis. Jobs can be scheduled on different timings using a flexible scheduling rule. For example, jobs can be scheduled to be performed on 12 midnight every day, or 10pm on every last day of the month, etc.

A number of tools and libraries are added to aid developers and administrators in their development and administration.The tools allow remote trouble-shooting of database that is sited in remote datacenter.

With proper permission, these tools allow developers to access the database directly to perform troubleshooting, help developers to perform system configuration directly via SMC, track leaked database connections and measure the response time of particular SQL, just to name a few.
