Form designer - working with forms

You can make simple changes to a view by modifying its component forms with the Web Form Designer. For example, you can change captions, move things around, and add and hide information. See What are Forms, Views, Controls, and Data fields?

Note: The system administrator and users with the appropriate role can access these features. See What are Roles and Secured Actions?

When you save the form changes, all the views that contain the form change as well.

Changes you make affect everyone on the system because form and view definitions are shared.

Quick Forms can be modified with the Web Form Designer in the application Web Client or the Application Architect. Custom forms cannot be modified with the Web Form Designer. Each form that you can modify displays the Web Form Designer in the toolbar. See Quick forms

You can also perform these actions:

  • Modify, view, undo the changes, release the changes, in a form.
  • Move, delete, hide, change the size and label of the control and make the control data read-only.
  • View and modify property values, add or delete a column or row from the form, change the width and add a form.
