Axiom forms are created using Axiom files, such as report files or templates / plan files. The form is designed within the Axiom file, using a special Form Control Sheet in conjunction with the Form Assistant task pane and the Form Designer.
Essentially, when you design an Axiom form you create a web "view" of that file. The design process consists of placing various form components on the form canvas, and then configuring various properties for each component. To display data within the form, you bring the data in the Axiom file using normal query methods—such as Axiom queries—and then link the data in the file to the components on the form canvas.
Once the file is configured as desired, users can view the file as a web form. The web form is generated "on the fly" for each user, based on the form settings in the source file.
Users can view and interact with the components in the form, including the ability to make interactive selections that impact the data displayed in the form. For example, users could select something from a drop-down list to indicate what data they want to see in a particular formatted grid or chart. Data queries are made live to the database so that the form always displays the latest data, based on the user's security filters. You can also configure a form to accept user inputs that are then saved back to the Axiom database via the source file.
