Creating and Filling out Form projects

Updated by Rob Martin

Although XactPRM is best known for our leading pricing research and the cost estimates that we help users create, we also have another project type that we call Forms. This article will walk you through creating and filling out a form project. We are making the assumption with this article that a Form project has already been created and published. For help with those steps, view our Creating Form Templates article.
