Manually create forms
Create forms manually if you want full control over the layout and functionality to be included within it.
Creating a form manually gives you more control and flexibility over the resulting Windows when compared to those created automatically. Plan your form design before creating a new form to save time and effort.
- Insert a table framework before adding controls to the form.
- In the framework, include rows, columns, and cells for organizing and arranging form content.
- Include sections and controls.
- Include logos, and other types of graphics.
- Supply a label for a field even if you are not showing the label on the form. Labels help end users know which form fields have failed validation.
You can do the following:
-
Create a Desktop, Phone, or Tablet version of the form with the additional option of making the phone or tablet touch enabled so that the user experience can be customized to suit each device.
-
Switch between form types if they exist. If a particular type of form does not exist, switching to that icon creates a blank version of the form. For example, if you switch to the phone icon, and if that form does not exist, a blank version of the phone form is created.
-
Generate a form using Generative AI functionality.
-
Create a custom form for use on a Multi-Function Peripheral (MFP) Lexmark device. You can only create the Tablet version (default) of the MFP form.
