Creating Edit Forms

Context

You use the Edit form to create or change information (for example, news items). You create input fields and selection controls that authors can use to enter information on this form.

Procedure

Create input fields in which authors can create information.

Note

All input fields and selection controls must have a reference to a data schema element or document property so that the system can save their content.

For more information, see Creating Controls and Creating Input Fields .
Optional: Create selection controls.

For more information, see Creating Checkboxes , Creating Groups of Radio Buttons and Creating Combo Boxes .
To create buttons for saving, canceling, and resetting actions, choose Extras Create Buttons.

In the dialog box that appears, make the required settings. The system then generates the pushbuttons.
Arrange the controls on the form.

For more information, see Arranging Controls on a Form .
Optional: Make settings that enable the system to validate user input in the Edit form. You can define error messages that the system displays if entries in the Edit form are incomplete or incorrect.
