A form is a view of your data that collects or displays information. The fields on a form store user input that can include single-value fields, a group of values, or a list of values. You create forms in Case Designer or at run time, and then associate them with an assignment or approval step in the life cycle of a case.
The presentation and validation of the fields on a form are determined by the following items:
The field type, such as Text or Integer, that you select.
The display mode of the field, such as Required, that you select.
The property that stores the value of the field.
Properties are implicitly created when you add a new field to a form. The property type is determined by the field type that you select when you add a field to a form.
The validation conditions that you define.
The control that is associated with the field.
Note: Although forms are a type of view, not all views are forms. Use the Views tab in Case Designer to find all views that are defined in a case type.
