View associations in Form Designer

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

You can view associations of a form and various elements in a form:

  • Control: Lists the actions that use this control and every action that the selected control invokes.

  • Actions: Lists the controls that call the selected action (including form name, if the action is triggered when the page loads) and all the controls and variables that the action uses.

  • Form: Lists the redirects, hyperlinks, and menus that reference the selected form and every form that is referenced from the selected form.

Note If edit the form save the form before you view associations or refresh the Associations list.
