Using Flex To Create Entry Forms

Browser accessible employment application forms are an important tool for many businesses. Storing the collected information in a backend database has become a necessity for organizations who need to efficiently process and track hundreds, even thousands of applications.

Using Adobe Flex Builder and Flash Builder, NowData is able to create Flash-enabled entry forms that are pleasing to look at and easy to fill out. Gathering, then saving information to a backend database is a snap!

Shown below are a few screen shots of a form used to collect job applicant information. The compact design and simple flow of the form make completing the form fast and easy! The gathered data is stored in a secure centralized database where it is accessed by multiple users.
