Editing a Form

The following section describes how to edit a Form.

Once you have created a Form, you can edit it.

You can edit many aspects of the Form.

You can:

  • Rename the Form
  • Edit Users' Permissions to the Form
  • Edit the Locks added to the Form
  • Edit the Design of the Form

Since a Form is the main tool you will use to collect data from users it is important to edit its Design as much as needed before users start adding Records to it.
