You create a new Form by cloning an existing one. When a new Form is created, the layout design is completely customizable, and can include any combination of standard elements and Object fields.
To clone a form:
- 1. Go to
> Customization > Objects > {object} > Forms - 2. Click on the form you want to copy.
- 3. At the top of the page, click [Clone Layout]
- 4. Specify Name - The name that appears in the Forms list
- 5. Specify how you will use this Form:
- Managing Records - An interactive form for use when adding, viewing, or updating records in the platform GUI.
- Printing Records - A form that used to generate a PDF using the Print a Record operation.
- Web Forms - A form that will become a Web Form in an external site.
- This option only appears for a non-default form, and only when the object is designated as Web Enabled in the Object Information section of the Object Properties.
- When a Web Form is accessed from a Mobile device, a Mobile-Optimized version of the Web Form is used
- Mobile Access - A form that is used for Mobile Access.
- (This option only appears for a non-default form, and only when Mobile Access is enabled.)
Note: Mobile Access forms have a fixed, two-column format. Converting an existing form to Mobile Access causes the form layout to be rearranged into that format.
