The Form buttons, at the top right of the Form Browser, allow you to change the layout of the selected form.

forms_form.view_customizations

View Form Customizations: Opens the Form Configuration dialog box for the selected form.

forms_form.remove_customizations

Remove Form Customizations: Clears all customizations for the selected form. This will return the form to the default layout, which has the following characteristics:

  • Widgets appear in an order based on size, type, and label.

  • Each widget is a standard type, based on the slot's type and cardinality.

  • Each widget is a standard size for that widget type. In addition, when you remove customizations, any labels you have changed will be returned to their default labels, and any hidden widgets will be displayed. However, if you have changed the display slot, that will not be returned to the default.

forms_form.relayout

Relayout Form with Current Widgets: Creates a default layout using the current widgets. This means:

  • Widgets appear in an order based on size, type, and label.

  • If you have changed the widget type for a slot, your changes are retained.

  • Any hidden widgets remain hidden.

forms_form.layout_like

Layout Form Like: Displays a dialog box of all forms and allows you to choose one as a basis for your layout, as follows:

  • Any widgets that the two forms have in common are laid out in the same way.

  • Widgets that appear in your current form, and do not appear in the form you choose as a base, are displayed in a standard layout below the chosen form.

  • Widgets that appear in the base form, and are not in the selected form, appear as blank space in the new form.

You can also customize a form in a number of ways, by customizing global properties as well as changing individual widgets on the form. See the Forms Table of Contents for more information.
