Form Designer Reference

Use the Form Designer to customize feature class forms, define multiple forms for a single feature class, and to assign different forms to different user groups.

Define multiple forms for a single feature class, and assign different forms to different user groups. For example, you define a form that only displays the attributes that are allowed to be edited by the VIEWER user group. Then you assign this form type to the user group VIEWER.

Note: A user can be in multiple user groups. If each user group has a different form assigned, a priority applies. See User Group Priority.

You can customize the forms of any tables, views, synonyms, or domain tables with the form designer.

You can add text boxes, check boxes, radio buttons, and combo boxes in the forms. Arrange elements to create a form that suits your needs.

You must have Infrastructure Administrator login rights (member of the ADMIN user group ) to use the form designer.

Form Manager

Use the Form Manager in Infrastructure Administrator to do the following:

• Import and export form definitions
• Remove unused form definitions. Use Form Check. All form layouts and definitions without a parent feature class are removed. This check can also be started in the 1-Click Maintenance batch.
• Check the form definitions (database indices). Form Performance Hints also provides hints to improve performance. Hints are written into a log file.
