AX1247
Forms Menu command
Use the Forms Menu command to enable, edit, and preview a form. You can use the shortcut parameters to specify which action to perform.
Can be used in
- Ribbon tabs
- Task panes
This command is included in the default AxiomMain.AXL ribbon tab, as part of the File Options group.
When the Forms Menu command is selected from the Command Library as the shortcut target, it displays as command://Forms or command://FormsCommandAdapter (legacy syntax).
Shortcut parameters
This command uses a single shortcut parameter named Mode. This parameter determines which action will be performed by the item:
| Save Mode | Description |
|---|---|
|
Menu |
Displays the Forms menu. The menu dynamically adjusts depending on whether the current document is enabled for forms or not. This option is selected by default. |
|
Launch Form Designer |
Opens the Form Designer dialog. |
|
Preview Form |
Previews the form as a separate tab within the application. |
|
Preview Form in Browser |
Previews the form in a browser window. |
|
Preview Form in Browser (as other user) |
Previews the form in a browser window, using the selected user's security permissions. This option is only available to administrators. |
The default display text for the command will automatically adjust based on the Mode selection.
Visibility
The visibility of items using this command depends on the selected mode and on the current user's security permissions. For example, Preview Form is only visible if the current document is form-enabled, and if the current user has the appropriate permissions to see the Form Assistant task pane. You can use the Show restricted item option in the task pane or the ribbon tab to force items that use this command to be visible at all times (but grayed out if unavailable for use).
