Form Performance Analyzer screen

Background and Setup

Prerequisites

AgilePoint NX OnDemand (public cloud), or AgilePoint NX PrivateCloud or AgilePoint NX OnPremises v8.0 Software Update 1 or higher.

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

Open eForm Builder.
For information about how to open this screen, refer to eForm Builder screen.
On the eForm Builder screen, click Preview > PC Browser.
On the eForm, click Analyze.
