The fastest way to add a new Form is to clone the default layout. When a new form layout is created, the layout design is completely customizable, and can include any combination of elements from a default list, or select from a list of existing elements. This provides the ability to create highly customized data entry forms.

- Click Designer > Data > Objects > {object} > Forms
- In the row of the form you want, click the Clone link.
- Display this form when
- Required
- Display the Form when any the selected actions are taken on a record in the Object

- If the expression resolves to TRUE, the Layout is displayed
- If the expression resolves to FALSE,the Default Layout is displayed
- Click the [Check Syntax] button to verify that the expression is formatted correctly
