SmartForms allow you to supply additional, optional information to a Shopping Cart item  for such things as service requests and customizable products.

If the supplier of an item or service requires extra information from the buyer, a SmartForm is created and added to the system.

When you click , to add that item to your Shopping Cart, the system opens a secondary browser window containing a blank copy of the necessary SmartForm.

1. Enter as much (or as little) information into the form as is necessary to define your purchase.
   
   
2. Click [Continue]. 
   
   The system carries the captured information with the Shopping Cart through the workflow process and transmits it to the supplier.

The layout of a SmartForm varies with the quantity and type of information required by the supplier. For  example:

• A SmartForm used to order a temporary receptionist may require: the number of days required, the office opening and closing time, PBX experience, and other clerical skills, etc.
• A SmartForm for a personal computer may require: memory, disk and monitor size, processor type, a choice of peripherals to be included, etc.

Items in a Shopping Cart, or Order, that include a SmartForm, display this icon .

In the Shopping Cart page, you can click    to re-display the SmartForm and view or edit the information contained in it.
