Forms are obviously an integral part of your
process. Just as in the introductory example, data will need to be
entered and displayed in forms. As described we can easily
associate a form with an action, and this allows us to define the
data that is entered by the user. We are also able to define a list
of forms that are visible at any stage in our process. This is how
we are able to present the data to users.
On each form we have a number of field types that
we are able to use.
These include the standard text, number, date,
drop down, and list fields. We can also add labels, images, and
grid fields. Grid fields allow us to present multiple rows of data,
and even to allow users to edit, add or delete multiple rows of
associated data. There are also a couple of additional features we
can add to grids, the ability to open another folder, or a URL,
when selecting a particular cell in the grid. This gives us, along
with buttons, an easy way to link folders together and allow users
to open one folder from another.
