Form Overview
In Engyn, forms serve multiple purposes. They allow you to gather data from users—whether internal or external—and organize it for analysis or record-keeping. These forms can be used for a wide variety of tasks such as feedback collection, registration processes, surveys, and more. Additionally, forms in Engyn are not limited to data collection—they can also be used to view and manage existing data from the Core system. This flexibility makes Engyn forms a versatile solution for both data entry and data management.
Basic Form Concepts
Creating forms in Engyn involves customising both the overall form properties and individual form elements. These properties help ensure that the form serves its intended purpose while providing clarity and guidance to the user. When designing a form, it's essential to configure both the layout and interactivity to meet the specific needs of your project.
Form Properties
Form properties define the overall structure and behaviour of the form, influencing how it appears to users and how data is submitted. Properly configuring these settings is crucial for ensuring that your forms are aligned with both user needs and organisational requirements.
Form Elements
Form elements are the building blocks that make your forms functional and visually organized. These elements include content elements, controls, and components to help you design an intuitive and interactive form.
Form Guide
The Form Guide offers additional instructions and information to users while maintaining a clean, organized interface. This separate guide helps users navigate the form effectively without cluttering the main layout.
