Form-based rules and the tool for updating them are deprecated. Upgrade your form-based rules to use harnesses and sections.

This tab contains the HTML and XML text defining the form. The system generates the text from the XML document created by the Form Builder.

You can modify this text in minor ways using your open authoring HTML editor. Use extreme caution in modifying generated HTML. Proper operation of the form and proper validation of data depends on correct HTML forms.
