View associations in a form

Use the Associations feature to view the controls and events used in a selected form, so you can determine the impact of changes.

You can view associations of a form and various elements in a form. For example, in a form:

  • A redirect or a hyperlink may point to an external form.

  • Several actions can be configured on one control.

  • A single action can be reused in multiple instances.

  • Actions can use form variables.
