Creating new forms

You can create new on-line forms in the Forms application:

You have created a new form. Now you can specify its properties or continue designing the form in one of two modes:

Designing forms using the Form builder – visual, drag & drop style editor with a limited set of options, designed for non-technical users.
Designing forms using the Field editor – textual editor offering all the options available for the fields.

Form properties

After you create an on-line form or when editing an existing form, you can define the following properties (on the General tab):

Form display name	Name of the form used in the administration interface.
Form code name	Name that serves as an identifier for the form. For example, in code.
Table name	Name of the database table where this form’s records are stored.
After the form is submitted	Sets the action that occurs when a user submits a new form record: Display text – the text message specified here is displayed. Redirect to URL – the client browser is redirected to the given URL. Clear form – the form is displayed again without any filled in data. Continue editing – the form data is submitted, but the form is still displayed without any changes and further editing is possible.
Submit button text	Sets the caption of the button used to submit the form.
Submit button image	URL of an image that can be used instead of the submit button. If blank, a button with the text defined in the property above is displayed.
