Creating custom forms

To display fields from different tabs on a single form, create a custom form. A custom form will speed up data entry and modification, because all relevant fields are shown on one convenient form. You can create one custom form for each form.

Creating custom forms

  1. Open the form for which you want to create a custom form.
  2. Make sure the Edit mode is disabled.
  3. Open the View menu, and select Custom form.
  4. Drag the field names and fields of your choice to the custom form. You can use all tabs, except for the List, Memo, and Texts tabs.
  5. Drag the fields you want to remove from the Custom form to Recycle Bin.
  6. Click Close.

Using custom forms

  1. Use Next record, Go to previous record, Last record or to go to the record you require.
  2. To add, change or delete records, use the icons on the form your custom form is based on.

Tip: Custom forms are saved locally on your workstation. Their location varies by operating system. In Windows 7, for example, the path is C:\Users\<User>\AppData\Roaming\Isah\Isah7\ifm. To move the custom form, for example because you do not have any rights to this folder, specify a different location for custom forms by selecting View from the main menu, and then selecting User system settings, Custom forms folder.
