Custom Split for a Form
A custom split provides the ability to carry the conversation on your RIB CX Form to another Form type quickly and easily.
This functionality provides the ability add a button to the tool bar of your forms so that when clicked it will automatically create the new Form type. You can create as many custom splits as required.

Configure which statuses you can split from
We have introduced the ability to customise which statuses a particular custom split button will be available. By enabling this configuration you will be able to provide better context-specific split buttons depending on where the form may be in its process.
You can select the statuses in which the Custom Split button appears by editing a row for the relevant custom split button.

Form type admins can set this option.

The "Mode" and "Security" user fields can be hidden on a form type.
