Methods to create and use responsive forms with externalized configurations and artifacts

摘要

Displaying a template of a document in a GUI. The template includes displayed sections. The sections includes at least one configuration defined by conditions, which are defined by rules. The sections are defined by a distinct set of conditions defined by a distinct set of rules. The configuration, conditions, and rules are stored separately from the template and from each other. When modifying the template, at least one of a condition change and a rule change required to implement the change to the template is identified. At least one of a modified condition and rule is retrieved. The first configuration is updated by modifying at least one of the conditions and the rules using at least one of the revised condition and the revised rule. The second configuration for the GUI is rendered to form a modified template. The modified template is displayed on the graphical user interface.
