Forms provide the graphical user interface to folder/document type information, allowing users to interact with database fields defined at the folder type and document type levels. Forms are used to view and edit the information stored in folder/document type database fields. Forms are initially created in the File Cabinet window. Thereafter, the layout and design of forms can be specified using the Forms Editor tool accessible via the File Cabinet window. This section covers the creation of forms for folder/document types.

Note: Multiple forms may be created for the same folder/document type, allowing you to design multiple ways for viewing the same database information. For example, you may create separate forms for editing and for printing records of a particular folder/document type.
