Once a standard form is created, you can configure its title, set the form's priority, create sections, and add elements.
When creating forms for use in a repeatable form, note that only forms with supported elements will be displayed. See the Add Repeatable Forms to a Report for a list of unsupported elements. |
To create a new standard form:
- Click the icon in the top bar > Configurable Forms in the Views section.
- Click Create Form.
- Enter the name of the form in the Name field.
- Optional: Enter a brief description of the form in the Description field, which will appear below the form’s name while editing the form and on the Configurable Forms landing page.
- Select Standard Form from the Form Type dropdown menu. See the Navigation Forms section for information and instructions on creating navigation forms.
- Select an object type from the Object Type dropdown menu.
- Click Create to display the Edit Configurable Form page. From here, you can edit the standard form's title, select a priority, and add sections and elements.
Elements (e.g., fields, relationships, formulas.) can be added to a standard form by dragging and dropping them from the Form Elements palette and onto a form card and/or section. You can open and close the palette by clicking theicon in the top-right of the form canvas. Elements already added to the canvas will appear in the palette with green to the left of their names.
If needed, added elements can be marked as read-only to users viewing the form. This is done by hovering your cursor over the element in the canvas, then clicking Mark Read-Only. To make an element editable again, hover your cursor over the element and click Remove Read-Only.
Fields, relationships, references, formulas, and/or roles can only be added to a form after they've been added to the object type as components. Read more here: Object Types. |
When creating forms for use in a repeatable form, note that only forms with supported elements will be displayed. See the Add Repeatable Forms to a Report article for a list of unsupported elements. |
