Introduction
Progressive Capture is a graphical workflow tool that provides a new and simple way to define the capturing of information for particular application. An application that uses uses Progressive Capture will include a number of small forms for collecting information related to the application. These forms can be optionally added, ordered, and branched depending on the information being captured.
