{{PrF_UG_TOC_forms}}<div id='prf_ug'>

When {{#var:PrF}} generates a default layout,
it creates a default widget for each slot.
However,
the
[[PrF_UG_forms_widget_type_menu|Widget Type Menu]]
allows you to to change the widget type for the currently selected widget.
The choices for type of widget depend on the
[[PrF_UG_slots_value_type_menu|value type]]
of the slot.
Some value types have only one possible widget.

The following additional widget types are available:

<ul class='a'>
<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_string_widgets|Additional String Widgets]]


<ul>
<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_string_widgets#ImageWidget|ImageWidget]]


<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_string_widgets#ResourceListWidget|ResourceListWidget]]


<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_string_widgets#TextAreaWidget|TextAreaWidget]]


<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_string_widgets#UniqueStringWidget|UniqueStringWidget]]


<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_string_widgets#URLWidget|URLWidget]]


<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_string_widgets#YellowStickyWidget|YellowStickyWidget]]

</ul>

<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_instancerow|InstanceRowWidget or InstanceTableWidget]],
which allow you to see a summary of all the slots of an Instance value


<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_contains|ContainsWidget]],
which displays the Instance or Class Editor for single or multiple Instance or Class values


<li>
[[PrF_UG_forms_directinstances|DirectInstancesWidget]],
which restricts the values of an Instances field to direct instances of the Allowed Classes.

</ul>

You can also change a Boolean field from a CheckBoxWidget to a ComboBoxWidget.

In addition,
the
[[PrF_UG_|graph widget]]
is available for some fields.

Note: You may see additional widgets on the Selected Widget Type menu.
Not all of these widgets are currently working correctly;
we do not recommend the use of widgets other than the ones listed here unless they are part of a plug-in.

To change a widget,
first select the widget you want to change,
then select the new widget type from the
[[PrF_UG_forms_widget_type_menu|Widget Type Menu]].
