Form XML

In order to configure the BDF, you must create a configuration file which tells the BDF how to display an interactive form. The form is separated into seven main sections.

•      Design – Controls the HTML display for the form.

•      Controls – Specifies the interactive controls use on the form. For example, a Workplace Lookup pointing to a remote data provider.

•      Form Response – Controls the type of response the user will see after the Submit button is selected.

•      EditForm – Controls the mapping of data collected from a provider to the controls loaded into the edit form.

•      DisplayForm – Controls the design and mapping of data collected from a provider to the controls loaded into the display form.

•      LockFormType – Locks the display type of the form.

•      BusyHTML – Controls the HTML displayed after the submit button is selected and the user is awaiting a response.
