To create the user interface for a workflow, you might want to create two different views of the Post form in Microsoft® Outlook®:
- Edit Compose Page view. This view is used by the person inputting data. You are shown this view automatically when you are designing a form. The text boxes on the form can provide values to the script used in the workflow.

In Outlook, open the public folder to which you want to add the workflow.
From the Tools menu, choose Design, and then choose Design a Form.
In the Design Form dialog box, choose Post. Click OK.
In the form, resize the message area to create space for the expense report fields.

Add the desired controls to the form. Resize the form if necessary.
