Modeling Facilities
Phase 2: Forms Modeling > Forms modeling
General characteristics of this modeler are specified below.
New Form
The modeler user defines a new form, which after being published is available to be used in the portal.
It can be modeled simultaneously:
•Data model layer
Involves modeling all the fields with associated data types, field identifier, fields used as filters in searches, field data lengths, behavior and other validations related to business rules.
•Form display layer
As its name implies, it is entirely related to the visual aspect of the form. This implies that you have control and decision about the arrangement, order, and width of the different fields and containers, interactive buttons, titles, labels, and informational messages, among other topics. There is also the option of displaying or not, the different sections or fields of a form and of using accordions.
When the form is created, a panel opens, allowing the entry of its name.
