Form component reference

Form components serve to gather input from users and submit it to the action(s) connected to the form. In other words, by employing form components, one can create web pages with input fields connected to a data model.

For example, you can apply a submit button for posting values.

You can add one or more forms to your application. Use the scroll bar to navigate to the range of related components that are provided in the form components section of the page builder menu.

Before you start building a new form, it's necessary to apply a layout format for your page. For instance, add a column or container to a page's canvas.

There is an additional article that describes how the form components are interconnected with the data model and actions.

Note: Building forms involves knowledge of how to work with data and data models. You may need the support of an experienced IT developer for building forms.
