Create a Form

You can use a form to design a data entry user interface to use with your label templates and applications.

Create a Form in Application Design 

To create a new form for use in an application, use this procedure.

1. In Application Design , click > Form. A blank form is displayed.
2. From the Insert tab, drag and drop text, controls, tables, images, or shapes to the form canvas. For more information, see Using Text, Using Controls, Using Images, and Using Shapes.
3. From the View tab, click Fields to quickly see a list of all fields on the form.

Save the Form

1. Click File > Save or click the Save button.
2. In the Save dialog box, select a folder and enter a Name.

   Characters permitted in names

   The following characters are permitted in the name: letters, numbers, parentheses, square brackets, ampersands, plus signs, equal signs, commas, semi-colons, and tildes. Additionally, the following characters are permitted but cannot begin or end the name: spaces, double quotation marks, single quotation marks, hyphens, underscores, periods, and grave accents. For letters, the case that you specify is displayed, but case is ignored when Loftware Enterprise SP interprets a name. If you will be installing the Loftware Enterprise SP application on a computer running Windows Server, and transferring data between Loftware Enterprise SP instances, see the "Transferring Data in a Compressed File" section of the Loftware Enterprise SP Data Transfer Guide.

   Tip: You can add a new folder within the folder selected in the left pane by clicking the Add Folder button.

3. Click OK.

Note: The first time you save a form to a version controlled folder, the form is automatically checked out. When you are finished editing it, be sure to click File > Check In to save and check in your version and make it available for others to check out.
