The Forms and Rules Widgets allow activity to occur based on the information stored within the lists and libraries. Items can be published, users can have notifications sent to them, and new documents can be created. By default the CorasWorks Application Designer Solution does not include any Forms or Rules.
The items within the Forms & Rules section fall into three different categories:
• Widgets These are Forms or Rules that can be added into the Navigation. There are only two Form types that can be included in the Navigation: create New Item and create New Document. All other Forms and Rules are available for use within the Views pages.
•Manage Forms This
section is used to manage Forms for viewing, creating, or changing list and
library items. Its options are: Edit Item (changing one item), Mass Update
(modifying multiple items), New Document, New Item, and View Item.
•Manage Rules This
section is used for managing Rules for working with information in the lists and
libraries. The options include: Email Notifications, Chained, Delete, List
Activations, Publish, and Timer Activations.
In short, the Widgets Forms (New Item and New Document) can be added to the Design Canvas Navigation, whereas all Forms and Rules can be used by the CorasWorks components on the Page Widgets or called and run by SharePoint (List Activation, Timer Activation).
