9.5. Adding Custom InfoPath Workflow Forms

As mentioned previously, there are four different workflow forms that you can customize (Table 9-2). These workflow forms collect data from the user and must call specific SharePoint object model code. If you are using ASP.NET pages, you must create the user interface, as well as add the specific SharePoint workflow object model code.

Table 9.2. Workflow Forms

These parameters include the title of the association, when to start a workflow (automatically or manual), and other custom workflow settings.	layouts/CstWrkflIP.aspx
