For a more detailed explanation of forms, see the Interface Guide: Forms.

Objective​

Upon completing this step, you will have:

  • A form called Task.
  • An associated table in the database.
  • A required field to store the task name.
  • An interface ready to create, edit, search, and remove records.

Prerequisites​

Verify that:

  • The demonstration application has already been created.
  • The configuration step has already been completed.
  • You are in the platform's development area.

Create the Form​

  1. In the upper right corner, click Build.
  2. In the main menu, go to Management > Forms.
  3. In Form Title, fill in Task.
  4. In Table Name, enable the Auto option.
  5. Click Save.
NOTE
  • Form Title defines the name shown in the sidebar menu.
  • Table Name defines the technical identifier used in the database.

After saving, the Task form will be available in the left sidebar menu.

Create the First Field​

With the form created:

  1. In the sidebar menu, click Task.
  2. In Display Name, fill in Name.

  4. Enable the Primary Key option (unique field).
  5. Enable the Not Null option (required field).
  6. In Type, select text.
