Create a form template

Use the following procedure to create a form template.

A form template only supports one column. The Column control, Mobile capture, and Mobile bar code capture controls are not available for form templates.

  1. Navigate to User interface > Form templates.

    The Form templates page appears.

  2. Click New.

    The New form template dialog box is displayed.

  3. Enter a Name for the form template.
  4. The Category of the form template defaults to your working category. However, you can change the category that the form template should be associated with.
  5. To include the touch-related controls and properties for a form template, select Touch enhanced. (Default: Clear. It implies that the template will be created for the non-touch forms.)
  6. 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 (1300px) or specify the required width in the Width field.
    • Percentage: Set the width in percentage (default: 100%) to display the form template relative to the browser window.

    For a form template in which the "Touch enhanced" option is enabled, the Design width and Height are set as per the tablet settings, otherwise the Design width and Height are set as per the desktop settings.

  7. Click OK.
  8. Click Yes in the confirmation message.

    A blank template opens.

  9. Add rows, cells, controls, actions, events, and resources as needed and define the following general properties and settings:

    • Name

    • Category

    • Version

    • Width mode

    • Width

    Settings

    • Control width

    • Associated label width

    For more information see Form properties.

  10. Click Save.

    The newly created form template appears on the Form templates page.
