Define Form Structures

When you create forms you work with settings on several tabs:

  • Define
  • Axes
  • Row Definition
  • Column Definition
  • Reorder
  • Lock

The first four tabs are used to create new forms and edit existing forms. The Reorder tab determines the order in which the forms are displayed in list boxes and reports. To prevent changes being made by unauthorized users, you can use the Lock tab to lock forms, row definitions or column definitions. You unlock a locked form by clicking the Unlock button in the lower part of the Form Structure Define window.

Note: If you define Free Forms, the Axes, Row Definitionand Column Definitiontabs are not available.

You can use the Microsoft Excel button in the lower part of the Form Structure Define window or the Add-Ins tab/Controller/Forms/Layout in Excel 2007 to format the content of the form.
