The Form Template Manager module come with two designing modes, Standard and Lite mode.  The Standard mode provides a full set of features for creating a form template.  This of course include the form layout itself and associated workflow meta data (localization, states, access control and workflow).  The Lite mode on the other hand only provide the ability to edit the form layout.  However there are a number of advantages of the Lite mode over the Standard design mode.

• Ready made new template - when creatine a new form template in Lite mode, the system automatically creates a simply form with pre-defined workflow meta data giving beginners access to quickly creating the required form and publish for usage.  The pre-defined workflow meta data is a simple 2 states workflow that allow registered users to submit a form from a New to a Submitted state.
• Quick approval - In Standard mode, publishing a form template requires that the form template go through a series of approval steps.  The steps go from In Development to Pending Approval to Pending Publish before reaching the Available state (published state).  When in Lite mode, the form template approval process is simplified to just going from In Development straight to Available without going through the other intermittent steps.

Of course it is possible to switch between the two modes anytime during the form template creation process.  To switch betwen the modes, in the Form Template Details screen, select the mode from the module's menu to activate the mode.
