CAM’s Layout feature provides the ability to customize the Forms, Grids, and Headers within CAM with metadata specfic to the CAM tenant.
Forms
Creating multiple forms of the same type supports role-based access. When a user has access to multiple forms, a selection list will be displayed in the upper right corner of the form feature, allowing them to select the appropriate form for their specific task.
Click this tab to configure the form layout for Matter Profile and the bulk profile update form for Workspace - Analytics, Folder- Analytics, Document-Analytics, and more.
Click the Add Form button in the top right corner
In the Add Form window, add information in the provided fields, based on the table below, then click Save.
Column Name | Description |
---|---|
Form Name | Enter a name for the form. This name is displayed in the Forms layout tab. |
Form Type | Select the form type. Based on the type selected here the form will be available for selection in the Analytics tab when executing a query against Document, Folder, or Workspace. |
Where to be displayed? | Select where the form will be displayed. These forms can be displayed on the Matters, Analytics, Generate-Template wizard, Documents or Workspace tab. |

The following types of forms can be displayed on a per-user basis in the User interface of CAM:
Document- Analytics
Document- Search
Matter Profile
Workspace-Analytics
Generate-Template
Edit Name-Profile
Link to Workspace
Out of the box Forms
The following forms will be automatically loaded upon tenant creation.
Document- Analytics
Document- Search
Matter Profile
Workspace-Analytics
Generate-Template
It is important to review the configuration of out-of-the-box forms. The forms come with preconfigured metadata that must be adjusted for the specific workflow and CAM tenant. For example, in a CAM tenant without the Analytics module, the metadata Lookup Type for Service Desk forms must be set to External to enable search functionality through the API. In CAM tenants with the Analytics module, the metadata Lookup Type for these forms should be Internal.
Configuring the Document Number size
The Document number is now customizable in the Service Desk to expand its character limitation. By default, the character type is a string, with a limit of 17,500.
To modify this further:
Go to Administration -> Layout Configuration
Add/Edit a form layout
Check the 'Where to be displayed' section.
If the 'Where to be displayed' Section is either 'Document - Search' or 'Workspace - Search' you will have a new Type when you add or edit a metadata field - 'Text Area'.
Change the fields you want to support a large number of character input to 'Text Area'.
To test, Go to the Documents/Workspace tab.
The fields with the type of 'Text Area' should be displayed the same way as a simple String input (TextField).
