Creating a Form

With NetObjects Fusion 12, you can devote an entire Layout area to a complex form containing many items, or create one or more smaller forms, each in a Layout Region, table, or text box. One form might log product registrations, for example, while another emails customer comments to a product manager. You can also add a form to the MasterBorder so it appears on several pages.

  1. In Page view, select the Form Area tool from the Form toolbar, and draw a rectangle in the Layout area or MasterBorder.

The Create Form dialog appears.

  1. Select a type of form container.

If you define a Layout, Layout Region, or text box as a form, you can insert multiple tables to help align form objects.

  1. Click OK.

  2. Add fields, check boxes, and other objects to your form, along with images and other content, as described in Adding Objects to a Form.

You can also turn an existing Layout or container object into a form. Click the Layout area, Layout Region, text box, or table, and select the form option on the General tab of the Properties panel; for example, Text box is a form.
