An Encompass360 input form is simply a collection of controls arranged on a blank palette called the Form. Whether you want to add a text box into which a user can enter data, a simple snippet of text such as a field description, or your company's logo, everything you add to the form is part of a control.
These controls are broken down into several categories:
All of the controls you need to build a form appear on the left side of the Form Builder window. Add a control to a form by using a simple drag-and-drop operation or the Edit menu.
After you add a control, you can modify its state, appearance, or value by editing the control's properties. Just as a form is made up of controls, each control is defined by its set of properties. Properties are used to customize the appearance and behavior of the control on the form. For example, you can set a label control's ForeColor property to change the color of the text it displays, or set the Action property of a button control to determine what will happen when the user clicks the button.
