Importing .per files

A Genero text form (per) can be imported and converted into Form Designer form files (4fd).

Import an existing Genero per file into your project with File > Import text form (.per) .... This action imports and converts the file to a Form Designer form (4fd) file. If the per file is already in your project, right-click on the file and choose Import Text Form....

If your form includes web components, ensure Create WebComponent settings (.wcsettings) on import of a text form in the Form Designer preferences is selected. This option generates the .wcsettings file that describes the web components, however it is recommended that you validate the generated .wcsettings file. For further information, see WebComponents and Form Designer.
