Description

Creating a form or process

You can add a form or process to an application.

  • Forms are good for collecting and sharing data, and following events.
    • Creating a Blank Form: Drag and arrange widgets that match the field data type on the canvas to create a form. A form, along with its views and statistical tables, make up an application.
    • Creating a Form from Excel: Design the form fields and data in Excel. Then, import it to quickly create a form.
  • Processes are good for business approvals, teamwork, and task coordination.

    Creating a Process: Tasks like trip requests or service ticket assignments need several roles to act in order. Create a process to guide them.

  • External links are good for quick integration of applications with external resources.

    Creating an External Link: Create external links to add external pages into no-code applications. This enhances applications functionality.

Adding widgets to the form
