What is a form?

A form is a graphical input used to access, add, change, and view records in a Service Manager table. Forms serve as the interface between the user and the underlying table. A form can be associated with only one Service Manager table; however, a table may have many associated forms. If you need a form to access data from multiple tables, you can create one or more subordinate forms and link to them using the Subform control. Service Manager stores form records in the format table.

You can create and modify forms with the Forms Designer (FD) utility. You can add or edit rules for processing form data with the Format Control (FC) utility.
