Synchronize Form Definitions

Learn to synchronize form definitions between FlowWright environments

Last published at: November 11th, 2026

The synchronization feature allows the user to compare and update artifacts created in the source system with those in a FlowWright target system. The user can synchronize data types, steps, business objects, event definitions, event handlers, event subscribers, menus, dashboards, organization charts, decision tables, themes, users, configuration settings, connections, triggers, process definitions, form definitions, databases, etc.  

As an admin user, navigate to the Status - Synchronize menu option. To synchronize, first select the source and target FlowWright connections, then click the Connect button to confirm a successful connection. If the connection doesn't work, navigate to the Integration - Connections menu option and verify the source and target connection strings. 

 

The "Connect HTTP" feature is provided to test HTTP connections according to the configuration. On the first attempt, the connection is made using HTTP, and then HTTPS is used if there's no response.  

 

Navigate to the Items - Forms - Form Definitions menu option.

 

Search to select the Process Definition. Data/items displayed in “Green” indicate new data/items to synchronize, and “Purple” indicates updates/changes to the data/items. 

  • Click on the “All” button to select all items (mark all checkboxes)
  • Click on “Clear” to unselect the items (unmark checkboxes)
  • Click on “Additions Only.” Only the items that are not present in the target database will be selected for synchronization
  • Click on “Changes Only.” The updated items in the source database will be selected for synchronization
  • Click on the “Synchronization” button. The selected items will be synchronized with the target database.

 

Click the “Synchronize” button to sync this definition with the target environment. 

 

A confirmation message appears in the top-right corner. To view the changes, navigate to the target FW environment and select the Form Definition. This activity is recorded in the Audit Log. Before synchronizing the selected items, the system creates a snapshot of the target database.
