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.
To Clone a Form:
- 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 of the selected actions are taken on a record in the Object
- Add Record
- View Record
- Update Record
- Display the Form when any of the selected actions are taken on a record in the Object
- Display Criteria (required)
- Create a Filter Expression to determine when this Form is used
- If the expression resolves to TRUE, the form is displayed
- If the expression resolves to FALSE, the default form is displayed (Default Layout)
- Click the [Check Syntax] button to verify that the expression is formatted correctly
- Create a Filter Expression to determine when this Form is used
- Click [Save]
- Then Edit the new Form
