Create form with drag and drop

Drag and drop items from the DB Schemas tab to the Form or Records tab.

Before you begin ,confirm that you have added the meta-schema file to your project.

  1. Create a new, empty form by selecting File > New > Genero Files and select Form (.4fd).
  2. Select the DB Schemas tab to show available meta-schemas.
  3. Select a table, field, or multiple fields (Ctrl-click) from the schema and drag them to the Form tab or the Business Record diagram.
    A label and formfield is added for each item dragged to the form. When a table is dragged and dropped, a container is automatically added.
    Note: For managed forms for generated applications (4fdm), if the record is created and the selection contains multiple tables linked with foreign keys, the joins corresponding to the foreign keys are created.
