Forms

Description

A form is a design in which each entry has multiple rows. For example, you want each entry in the block to have four rows:

• The first containing the customer name
• The second containing address and phone number (which are two separate detail objects in the Customer class)
• The third containing the customer's nationality
• The fourth containing the age group to which the customer belongs

Suitable for

Presenting data in multiple rows.

Keep in Mind

• Arrange the objects in the order you want them to appear in the block.

For example, if you want each row to have a salesperson's name, address, and the amount of sales revenue that person has generated, in that order, arrange the objects representing name, address, and revenue in a single row in that order in the Block panel.

• You can create forms in either Section/Block mode or Block mode. In both cases you lay out the body of the form in the Block panel.
