Form overview

Modified on Thu, 20 Jul, 2023 at 12:32 PM

The menu entry My Forms contains the form overview page. This is the main page for working with forms. It lets your create new forms, delete old forms and edit existing forms. To find a form more easily, you can also search form forms by name or use one of the available filters.


Contents


By default, the forms will be displayed as cards.

Structure

The default view of the form overview page is the card view. Forms may also be displayed in a list view. By clicking the buttons  /  in the header at the top right, you can toggle the view between the card and list view. The header also contains an input field for searching forms, as well as a button which will open the filter panel to the right. If you have added forms to a group, the forms will be grouped accordingly in the overview. Individual groups can be shown or hidden in the filter menu to the right.


Once you have created a certain amount of forms, they are not displayed all at once anymore. By default, you will see 25 form on each page. You can also change how many forms are displayed per page in the menu bar to the bottom.

The default view shows every form as a card. These cards consist of a thumbnail of the form, a button for quick access to the formcycle Designer, a button for opening the form, as well as a button for opening the form menu. The button at the upper right corner of a card shows how many (unread) form records have been submitted. Clicking that button will open the inbox and show all submitted form records for that form.

To create a new form, click on the card or button to the top left.
