- Menu button: Tap the Menu button to navigate to Tasks, Forms, Outbox, and Settings. If your AEM Forms app is connected to an AEM Forms JEE server, you can see the Tasks option. The Tasks option also stores the drafts created from tasks in a process. For AEM Forms OSGi servers, Tasks option is hidden. Outbox stores the saved forms and drafts before it syncs with the server. All saved forms and drafts in the Outbox are uploaded to the AEM Forms server when the app is synchronized with the server. For information on Settings, see Update General Settings.
