# Overview

Control is used to build and operate digital process flows and related integrations. The product includes Forms for interactive user journeys, API endpoints for system-to-system integrations, and Schedules for background execution of recurring jobs.

Typical use cases include creating or updating users, exposing controlled API endpoints for backend integrations, and running recurring jobs through pipes without user interaction.

## Main areas

* [Forms](/control/modules/forms.md) for interactive flows, steps, and controls
* [API](/control/modules/api.md) for HTTP endpoints backed by Pipes or DataProxy
* [Schedules](/control/modules/schedules.md) for recurring background jobs

Forms provides a powerful tool to build web-based flows that delegate administration to the individuals responsible for specific information, streamlining management and improving data accuracy.

You can also create self-service flows, including user self-registration. For example, a user can authenticate using BankID, where verified information is retrieved and used to allow the user to create their own account.

We offer several tutorial videos demonstrating how to work with Forms in various scenarios.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.fortifiedid.se/control/the-service/readme.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
