The following form-level functions are available from the form toolbar located at the top of the Form Editor. Most functions are also available from the Form menu item at the top of the page.

 

Form properties (Ctrl Shift P)

Displays the form properties.

 

Maintain texts

Displays the texts maintenance dialog, where all form texts and messages can be maintained. This dialog supports the simultaneous display of texts in multiple languages and is useful when adding texts for a new language.

 

Parameters

Displays a list of those fields which can be passed to the form as URL parameters when it is invoked. To designate a field as a parameter, select the URL parameter option in the field properties for the field. Note that LANGUAGE can always be passed and does not need to be explicitly specified as a parameter.

 

Form metadata

This supports the addition of metadata to the HTML <head> section of rendered output. Metadata can also be added at the global level i.e. to all forms.

Screen Resolution

Adjusts the screen resolution based on either a preconfigured device/screen resolution or using custom setting.

 

No Device – No Device is selected and the full width of the editor is used.

 

<device-name> - Set the designer Screen resolution to the pre-configured device for design purposes. For example iPhone X, this sets the designer screen size to 375 by 812 pixels. The devices are configured in Designer Preferences. If a device is not selected as show device in the Designer Preferences then they will not appear in the drop-down list.

 

Custom – enables the width and height boxes and allows you to specify these values manually.

 

Edit – Opens the Designer Preferences to configure the screen devices.

 

Zoom control

adjusts the size of all page content including both text and non-text items. Can have the following values:

 

Full Width - adjusts the size of content in conjunction with the screen size control. When the screen size is set to an explicit value (anything other than none), then full width will adjust the size of content to fit the selected screen size. When screen size is set to none, a setting of full width has no effect.

 

nn% - zooms by the specified amount. Zoom values can be maintained in Designer Preferences.

 

Size Unit Control

Select a size unit from the dropdown list. This size unit will then be displayed in the ruler.

Rotate Screen

Flips between landscape and portrait view.
