Forms

• About forms
  Forms allow you to design an interactive user interface for your app. You can use the Call Form source element to open a form from an app, subapp, subroutine, or include. Using the Call Form element from an event subroutine allows you to call a form from another form.
• Create and edit forms
• Search within a form
  The form editor in Application Studio allows you to search for form controls within an open form. If your form contains form events or subroutines, you can also search for source elements, variable targets and properties, and variable assignment source formulas. Beginning in 9.0 SP11, if your form contains a form component, the component is searched along with the form.
• Controls
• Events
• Platform Views
• Duplicate a form
  You can duplicate an existing form to create a copy. The form must be checked in.
• View apps and app items
  Apps and app items can be viewed in view-only mode. In this mode, you can access their elements but cannot change the information.
• Delete an app or app item
  You can delete unnecessary apps and app items. Deleting destroys all instances for all promotion levels. An app or app item cannot be deleted if it is checked out.
• Print forms
• Define parameters in an app or app item
  You can use parameters in apps, subapps, includes, forms, and wires. Parameters are similar to the Variable element, but with an additional "output" property. Parameters marked as "output" have the ability to return information to the app or item in which it is used. An app can return an "output" parameter to the requesting caller if it is generated from a "RunApplication" request from the WebAPI. This is the only interface with this ability.
• View history and roll back apps and app items
  The history of an app or app item can be viewed in the Item History dialog box. The Item History dialog box also allows for rolling back to earlier versions of the app or item. For files in the Repository, if a file is edited and uploaded again with the same name, its version number is increased. You can roll back to an earlier version if necessary.
• Upload and download forms
• Check in a form
  When a form is edited, it is automatically checked out to the user. In the version column, text indicates the first and last name of the user that checked out the form. A checked-out form cannot be accessed by another user. It remains checked out until it is checked in.
• Undo checkout of a form
  Current edits to a form can be undone by undoing checkout. Even after changes have been saved, the checkout can still be undone to discard the most recent changes. When undoing checkout, the form remains at the same version as when editing began. If recent edits have been checked in, you cannot undo checkout to discard the edits..
• Find references in Application Studio
  In Application Studio there are references from items to other items. For example, you may want to find all the references to a particular repository image in forms, or to find which apps reference a particular subapp. References can be found in projects for an item in the project tree, but not for a project itself. References can be found for all apps and items.
