A Form is made up of one or more fields that allow the user to enter information (like text fields, text area fields, drop-down menus, radio buttons, check-boxes, etc.). A simple application like a "Contacts List" will have just one Contact Form to enter the Name, Address, Email id and so on. A more complex application like "Project Tracker" will have many Forms for adding new projects, team-member details, to-do list and so on. A simple Form created in Zoho Creator is shown below:
When you create a new application, a Form and a View is created by default. The Form is used to submit data and the view is used to display the data. When you add a new Form to your application, Zoho Creator provides the option to create the Form as a Regular Form (or) Stateless Form. Refer the topic, Form Types for more information. |
