Welcome to Electronic Forms User Guide

Welcome to WSDOT Forms Application.

The form files included in this application are the same fillable (Fill and Print Online) used by WSDOT personnel. The package includes a FileMaker Runtime engine that will allow use of the files without any additional software. Some forms are “print only” (Adobe Acrobat) files. If you do not have Acrobat Reader, you need to install it to open those “PDF” files. Go to http://www.adobe.com/ to donwload the free reader software.

As more electronic forms become available, they will be added to the system. Please let us know about any desired addtions or any problems with using the system.

If you have a copy of FileMaker Pro version 5.0 from FileMaker Inc., installed on your computer, you may want to review the instructions for use before using the forms. If, however, you do not, you may still use these forms effectively by following the instructions contained in this User Guide. Passwords were used to assure that the standard forms are not altered. If you find errors or have suggestions for improvement, please contact us so that any problems can be corrected.

This guide will not make you an ‘expert’ in FileMaker Pro, nor is it designed to provide you with the expertise to create your own forms or databases. The purpose of this tutorial is to assist you in filling out, adding new records, retrieving records, printing, and transferring data.
