Use the Form designer dialog box to design and manage ELO forms. Different content and buttons appear depending on the selected function. The basic functions are explained in the following.

Information: For detailed information on workflows, refer to the ELO Java Client Workflow manual.

Toolbar

The toolbar is located in the top part of the dialog box. The tools differ depending on the selected function.

Form: Click the Form button to create a new form. A form can contain multiple templates.

Template: Use the Template button to create a new template for a form. Templates are the building blocks for forms. A form can consist of multiple templates and/or tables.

Tab group: Use this Tab group button to create a new tab group. Forms can be split into different tabs in tab groups. This helps to better structure large forms.

Table: Use the Table button to create a new table. Tables are a special form of templates. With table templates, you have the option to record data in table form and save it to the database using special map fields.

Refresh: Refresh the form data with the Refresh button. This is necessary, for example, if you have loaded an image that you want to use in the form.

Close: Close the form designer with this button.

Assignment: Clicking the Assignment button opens a submenu. In this submenu, you can assign forms to individual metadata forms. These forms are displayed instead of the metadata preview if you select the corresponding option. You can edit the metadata via the form. If a form has not been assigned, ELO uses a default form.
