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.
You can use the form editor to build forms by dragging and dropping form and data controls onto the canvas. These controls allow users to interact with your app, such as check boxes, buttons, text fields, and drop-down lists. The appearance, layout, and behavior of controls can be modified with properties.
Event subroutines can be defined to trigger when users interact with a control on a form, such as a button. For example, to create a button that exits the form, you write a subroutine with an Exit Form source element that fires when the button is selected. For more information, refer to About assigning events.
Platform views allow you to arrange and style controls to define how your form displays on specific devices. For more information, refer to About platform views in forms and form components.
You can modify the z-order of form controls to determine which controls are brought to the front or sent to the back when the form is run in the client. This allows the controls to be stacked, or layered, on top of each other. Z-order can only be modified from the base platform view.
Images from the repository can be added to a form via the image control. You can also add images to certain controls to modify their appearance. In addition to images, files such as documents, spreadsheets, and PDFs can be uploaded to the repository and used in forms.
