Form Extender
New field types for the native GLPI forms
Form Extender expands the native GLPI 11 and 12 forms with new question types, which appear in the form editor itself, under the Form Extender group. No third-party plugins and no changes to the GLPI core.
Features
There are two types. In the "ITIL Category" question, the administrator filters categories by type (request, incident, problem or change) and ticks exactly which ones the requester will be able to choose, in a clean list that shows only the category name. In the "CPF / CNPJ" question, for Brazilian tax IDs, the field formats the document as it is typed, checks the check digits, rejects invalid documents and accepts the new alphanumeric CNPJ from the Brazilian Federal Revenue.
The category can come preselected, and conditional questions react to it straight away. The list follows the form's entity and, in the self-service portal, hides categories that are not visible in the helpdesk. The chosen category is applied to the ticket, change or problem created. Exporting and importing the form to another GLPI keeps the categories, and Changes and Problems opened through the form can be created visible to sub-entities.
How it works
Enable the module
Switch Form Extender on in the NexTool catalogue. The Form Extender group then appears in the form editor.
Choose the question type
In the editor, add a question and, under Form Extender, choose between "ITIL Category" and "CPF / CNPJ".
Set up the ITIL Category
Choose the ITIL type, tick the categories the requester will be able to see and, if you want, the default category. In the form destination, use the answer as the category of the item created.
Set up the CPF / CNPJ
Define whether the question asks for a CPF or a CNPJ. The field formats as it is typed, rejects invalid documents and stores the answer already formatted.
Publish the form
The requester sees only the chosen categories, by name, and documents reach the technician already validated.
