Form Performance Analyzer screen

Shows information about the runtime performance for an eForm.

Background and Setup

Prerequisites

Good to Know

  • The eForm Performance Analyzer shows the performance for web browsers on a desktop or laptop machines. Because of the specificity and variability of mobile devices, this tool does not calculate performance data for those devices.

How to Start

  1. Open eForm Builder.

    For information about how to open this screen, refer to eForm Builder screen.


    Eform Builder screen
  2. On the eForm Builder screen, click Preview > PC Browser.

    Click PC Browser
  3. On the eForm, click Analyze.

    Click Analyze
