THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE INTEGRATION
OVERVIEW
§
There are two kinds of third party widgets that can be created
§
Answer box types and Process Gates
§
Answer Boxes are methods of input and storage of data from
data capture forms
§
Process Gates are locations within workflows
§
Note: all the functions and procedures listed below are
already defined in the classes they inherit so they are optional
§
The Answer Box Type has the following format:

End Sub
'When inserting a value the procedure must
