Self-Service form
A Self-Service form is a web page that combines various blocks. A block is a section in a page.
The following table describes the generic pages and blocks available in PSS:
Page
Description
Add page
Allows you to add an element which then becomes available in the list page. For example, if you add a visitor using the Visitor add page, the visitor is listed in the Visitor list page and becomes available for the back office.
An add page has an add block where you fill in the information to create a new element. The fields with an asterisk are mandatory.
For example, you fill in the visitor data on the add block of the Visitor page.
Tip  
For a description of the field types and the corresponding icons used, refer to Basic navigation in Planon Web Client.
Edit page
Allows you to edit the element details. For example, edit a visitor’s details.
An edit page has an edit block where you can make modifications/edits and submit the changes.
