Adding fields to the form design

It is necessary to bind the form fields to a data schema for use as input to an automated process. Typically, this task involves several steps. You can add multiple form objects to a form design by using a data schema file. Using a data schema file to create form objects in your form design saves you time for these reasons:

  • Form objects are created based on the defined data type in the schema file.

  • Each form object is automatically bound to the data source or entries in the data schema.

  • Captions are created for each form object based on the element name in the data schema.

After you add the form objects, you can rearrange and modify the fields as required.

A best practice is to develop a stable schema before you start to create form designs.

Add form objects to a form design using a schema

  1. In Designer, if the Data View palette is not available, select Window > Data View.

  2. From the Data View palette, drag DataConnection to the leftmost part of the form design, below the image you added. Four fields appear in the form design.
