Create a form template

See Form template.

  1. On the Home page, click Form Designer > Form Template.

    The Form Template page appears.

  2. Enter a Name for the form template.
  3. In the Category box, consume the required category for the template. (Default: Your working category)
  4. For Touch Enhanced, click Yes to include the touch related controls and properties for a form template. (Default: No. It implies that the template will be created for the non-touch forms.)
  5. By default, the width mode set in the system settings is displayed for the form template. To change the default setting, select either option for Width Mode:
    • Fixed: Accept the default width (1300) or specify the required width, in the Width box.
    • Percentage: Set the width in percentage (default: 100%) to display the form template relative to the browser window.
  6. Click OK.

    A blank template opens.

    Note

    • A form template only supports one column.

    • The controls in the toolbox are available based on the Touch Enhanced setting.

    • The Column control, Mobile Capture, and Mobile Bar Code Capture controls are not available for form templates.

    • You can also specify the Width Mode from the Properties bar of a form template. Change the Width as per the configured Width Mode setting.

    • For a form template in which the Touch Enhanced option is set to Yes, the design width and height are set as per the tablet settings.

    • For a form template in which the Touch Enhanced option is set to No, the design width and height are set as per the desktop settings.
