Clicking the form name or selecting Edit icon from the Action Menu on the Forms and Workflows Home page opens the form in the Forms Designer. The Properties Navigator panel displays in the lower-left portion of the Form Designer. This panel shows information about important properties setup for the form. Not all of the configured properties are shown in this view.

  • Clicking the Edit Form Properties icon in the Forms Designer toolbar

The Properties Tabs work the same way whether you open them from the Navigator or from the Forms Designer toolbar. Here is what you need to know:

  •  If you are working on several tabs at one time, you can navigate to other tabs and make changes there. Use the left and right arrows at the top of the screen to display additional tabs. You must click the Submit button when you are finished configuring Step Properties  to save your changes. Remember to save the workflow.
  • will validate the Property Settings when you click Submit. If a property value is invalid, the tab(s) will not close and a  message will display telling the designer that there are corrections to be made before saving. The screen will stay on the current tab if there is a validation error.  Otherwise, another invalid tab will be auto selected (starting from left to right) if another tab needs attention. Tab labels with invalid entries display in red.

    • In some cases, you can type ahead to narrow down the list. Use the up/down arrows, the Enter key or click an option with your mouse to select an option. Use the Backspace, Delete or click the x on a selected property to delete it.
    • Typing a opening curly brace into some fields, followed by the name of a control, show a list of the fields in your workflow that match the entered text and will be added to the field as a control template.

This is the name you see on the Forms home page where your forms are listed.  We recommend changing the name to make it more meaningful than the arbitrary name assigned when you create it, but keep in mind it is a working name only, so users will not see it. Form names longer than 60 255 characters will be truncated. It is recommended that you name your form/workflows using characters that are suitable for filenames. Following the POSIX filename standard (A–Z a–z 0–9 . _ - ) will ensure it works. Click thepencil icon above the Properties Navigator to edit the name then click the checkmark to save or the cancel icon to discard your changes. You can also change the name on the 816783772 tab.
