How to add a Summary Form to your Process Template
The summary form is the primary structural component of a Weever process template, serving as the essential link for data integration. Its primary function is to act as a repository for high-level metadata—such as dates, shift identifiers, and line numbers—which provides a unique identity to every launched process.

- Its primary function is to act as a repository for high-level metadata—such as dates, shift identifiers, and line numbers—which provides a unique identity to every launched process.
- Once this information is entered at the start of a workflow, the system automatically associates these data points with every subsequent form submitted within that specific process instance.
- This automated linking is critical for maintaining data integrity and ensuring comprehensive reporting capabilities across the entire manufacturing workflow.

Selecting or Creating a Summary Form
- Initiate the Process Builder: Open the process builder to begin a new template.
- Define the Foundation: When prompted for the summary form, choose to either create a new form directly within the builder or select an existing form from your library.
- Establish Metadata: Ensure the chosen form includes fields for critical identifiers (e.g., Date, Shift, Batch ID) that need to be linked to all subsequent data.
- Finalize the Link: Once selected, the form will serve as the mandatory first step for staff launching the process, automatically tagging all following submissions with the header information.
- Perform Updates: If reporting requirements change, navigate back to the process builder to modify the summary form at any time
