Applications → Working with Forms → Form Settings → Form Configuration Dialog Box
This dialog box opens when you create a new custom form. Use it to provide basic parameters for the new form.
| Element | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | The name of the new custom form. Each form must have a unique name. If you type the name of an existing form, a number is appended to the name (for example, "State Form 2"). |
| Type | Select State form, Transition form, or Print form. |
| Layout | Select
Responsive for a form layout that
adjusts to the size of the screen, (available only for modern forms), or select
Standard for a non-responsive layout.
For details, refer to
Working With Responsive Forms.
You can modify this setting for specific container controls after the form is created. |
| Legacy mode | Select this check box if you want to create a form using
legacy technology (used in all releases prior to
SBM Composer
11.1).
By default, this check box is selected if Enable HTML5 features is disabled in the Form Options tab of the SBM Composer Options dialog box, and cleared if Enable HTML5 features is enabled. |
| Options | Select one of the following:
Form with pre-populated sections for: Creates a form for the primary table, an application workflow or sub-workflow, or an auxiliary table in the open process app. By default, the content of the form is determined by the privilege section specified for each field in the table. Select a workflow if there are field overrides at the workflow level. Form with auto-sections for: Creates a form for the primary table or an auxiliary table. The sections in the form will be automatically populated at runtime based on field privileges. You can leverage the automatic layout of fields while still customizing the form as needed. Empty form for: Creates an empty form based on the selected table. Based on another form: Creates a form based on the selected custom form in the open process app. In most cases, the form types do not have to match, so you can create the form from either a state form or a transition form. Note: If the "external forms" option is selected on the
Forms tab in
SBM Composer
Options,
the first three options also contain tables external to the current
application. This includes both primary and auxiliary tables from other
applications in the open process app and from referenced applications (except for system auxiliary tables from the Global
Application). Forms that are based on external tables are included in the
last option.
|
| Labels | Choose to place labels to the left of form controls or on
top of form controls.
You can modify this setting for specific container controls after the form is created. For details, refer to General Tab of the Form and Control Property Editor. |
| Field columns | Specify the number of field columns for the form. |
| Preview | Displays a read-only version of the blank form or the form from which you are basing the new form. |
| Actual size | If this check box is selected, the size of the form in the
Preview element is the same as the size
of the form in the form editor.
If this check box is cleared, the form is sized to fit in its entirety in the Preview element. |
