Legacy Forms Designer

We have several forms that were created using the legacy Forms Designer which is no longer supported in certain browser (e.g., Chrome). Is Forms Designer going away completely? Should we be replacing those forms with an equivalent SAIL form or will we still have access to Forms Designer in future versions of Appian. Note that we will soon be upgrading to 17.1.

Thanks for the question! Also, I'm glad to hear that you're planning on upgrading to 17.1 soon. The forms designer was deprecated in 16.3 (
forum.appian.com/.../Appian_Release_Notes.html
To answer your questions specifically, yes the forms designer will continue for existing forms created with it (in IE). However, new forms should be created using SAIL forms. The new interface designer integration to the process modeler should help a lot (

.
There is also a playbook article providing some guidance in converting portal UIs to Tempo:

The page that you brought up that has the forms designer reference should be viewed in the context of Application Design in Tempo. If someone want to use a start form while kicking off a related action from a record, they should be using a SAIL form for their start form.
Please let me know if you need any more details. Thanks!
