The Forms Designer is a tool that developers and administrators can use to customize user interface and field behavior on Operations Console pages with a dynamic interface. You can use the Forms Designer to customize pages that display workflow parameters
, partner attributes, and account attributes
.
In the Forms Designer, you use the Designer tab to customize behavior and appearance of fields. For example, you can arrange large lists of workflow parameters in tabs or create dependencies between fields so that a specific parameter only appears if another parameter has a value. You can also mark fields as mandatory or read-only and determine the field type. For example, you can define a field as a text field or a number field. You can preview the customized layout on the Preview tab.
When you customize
partner attributes, account attributes, or
workflow parameters, you can import values from external lists with the
B2B Data Exchange
Forms Designer Java API. Use the API methods to configure the external list and set the default value for the list if needed. Each time you populate the list, the API overrides the values in the existing list. Therefore, if you manually modify any list value, the API deletes the value.
