Create Document
The Create Document object creates an instance of the desired form and assigns it to the Document object on the flow. This object is included in the flow by connecting to other flow objects with connecting arms. As soon as the flow step passes through the Create Document object, the form to which the defined Document object is linked is created in the system.
CAUTION
The Create Document object is an object used to create the form defined in the document object in the old flow template. When the Document is inserted into the Start of Flow object in the new flow template, the form is created when the process is sent to the next step. You can use the Create Document object to branch the flow and create the document in different places.
> New flow template
> Old flow template
In the new flow template, there is no record over the database because the document will not be created until the process is started. Clicking on the menu in the old template creates a record in the database because it will pass through the Create Document object.
Before objects such as Position, Position Group, Information, in which a Document object can be defined, the Document object defined in them must be created using the Create Document object. Otherwise, other flow objects to which the Document object is attached will not be able to display the corresponding document and an error will be received by the system.
From the toolbox panel, the Create Document object is dragged and dropped onto the form. Clicking the Create Document object will list the properties that the object has in the Property Viewer panel.
When clicking on the Create Document object, there are "Appearance", "Properties" and "Events" tabs in the Property Viewer panel.

'Size' - The part where the width and height of the object are adjusted.
Properties
Documents
'Document' - The space lists all the Document objects found in the flow design. Whichever Document object is defined to associate the form with the Create Document object, the relevant Document object will be selected from here.
With the 'Type' - Create Document object, the choice is made whether to create a new document or define an existing document in the object. The field lists three options: "None", "Create new form", "Add existing document".
- When the Create new form option is selected; The Creator, Process, Form, View, Create Id fields appear on the screen.

| Form | In the Form section, the form to be created will be selected. |
| View | In the View section, select which view of the form will be created. If no extra view is set on other flow objects that can display documents, such as Position, contacts will default to the view created here. |
| Create Id | If the Create Id option is selected, the generated form is assigned a form Id number. In addition, there is no need to use the Set Document ID object. |
| Panel Size | When viewed in the web interface of the selected form, it is used to determine the width of the panel when the form is opened in the panel type. |
- When the Add existing document option is selected; The Path Type, Path Source Type, Value fields appear on the screen

This field lists the "Full path" and "Form no" options.<br/>``````<br/>When the Full Path option is selected, the path of the form to be defined to the Create Document object in the Document Management System must be given as a value.<br/>If Form No is selected, the Form Id (Global Id) number of the corresponding form must be given to the object. |
| Path Source Type | This section specifies where the form to be introduced to the Create Document object will get its full path or form id information. This field lists the "Constant Path" and "From Variable" options.<br/>``````<br/>When the Constant Path option is selected and the Value field is clicked, a window will open where the path to the corresponding form can be selected from the Document Management System.<br/>Selecting From Variable lists the Function and Variable objects in the flow design from the Value field. The flow object that gives the Create Document object the full path or Form ID of the form to be defined is selected from this field. |
| Value | Path is the field in which the selection will be made in Document Management or the Variable object will be selected based on the selection made in the Source Type field. |
| Panel Size | When viewed in the web interface of the selected form, it is used to determine the width of the panel when the form is opened in the panel type. |

Events
Events
The events owned by the Create Document object are located in the "Events" tab in the Property Viewer panel. Each event is triggered at different runtime moments, performing its own unique operations. Code written by the developer to these events is also executed at the time the corresponding event is triggered. To write code for any event, double-click the appropriate event line from the Events tab. The screen is directed to the flow code editor section named "FlowName.cs" and the method block for the clicked event is automatically created. The developer can construct any code block he wants in this method. Next to the event whose method is created on the code side by clicking from the Events tab, the method name information is automatically generated and the relationship between the event and the method is specified.
