To access the master list of available Form definitions, select the "Forms" option. The following screen will appear:

Forms Master List

The Forms master list displays information on all available Form definitions, including Form name and Form description.

To the far right of the list, the following buttons are available:

CLOSE

Closes the screen, returning you to the application desktop.

NEW

Opens screen for adding a new Form definition to the Forms master list.

EDIT

Enables you to edit highlighted Form definitions. The edit screen is the same as that for creating a new Form definition—except that when editing, the fields will contain Form information. Double-clicking on a Form will also bring you to the editing screen.

DELETE

Highlight a Form and then select this button to remove the Form from the master list.

10.14.4.1. Form

To create a new Form definition, select the NEW button. The following screen will appear:

Create New Form

When creating a new Form definition, you are presented with the following options:

Name

Enter a unique Form name.

Description

Enter a brief description of the Form.

Report

Specify the report definition you want to associate with the Form.

Tip

In the case where you have multiple versions (i.e., grades) of the same-named report definition, it doesn't matter which one you select when setting up a Form. The system will always use the report definition having the highest grade.

Keyed On

Specify where in the application you want the report definition to be cross referenced. For example, selecting "Work Orders" will make the specified report definition available to the "Print Work Order Form" screen. The system supports the following keyed on cross-references:

  • Customers

  • Items

  • Item Sites

  • Purchase Orders

  • Sales Orders

  • Vendors

  • Work Orders

  • Sales Analysis - Special Calendar

  • Production Entry Sheets

  • Return Authorizations

To the far right of the screen, the following buttons are available:

CANCEL

Closes the screen without adding a new Form to the master list.

SAVE

Creates the Form and adds it to the Forms master list.
