Properties Navigator

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.

Open the Form Properties wizard by:

• Clicking inside a section or clicking on the Edit Form Properties icon in a section of the Properties Navigator. This immediately displays the property tab for editing.
• 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:

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.
