Form Name

JSON 文法
The form name is defined by the name of the folder that contains the form.4Dform file. See project architecture for more information.
Form Type
The form type, i.e. its destination, defines the features that will be available to the form. For example, markers can only be set for list (output) table forms.
Each table in a database generally has at least two table forms. One for listing records on-screen and the other for displaying one record at a time (used for data entry and modifications):
Output form - the output form or list form displays a list of records, with a single line per record. The results of queries are shown in an output form and users can double-click a line to display the input form for that record.
Input form - used for data entry. It displays a single record per screen and typically has buttons for saving and canceling modifications to the record and for navigating from record to record (i.e., First Record, Last Record, Previous Record, Next Record).
Supported types depend on the form category:
| Form Type | JSON grammar | 説明 | Supported with |
|---|---|---|---|
| 詳細フォーム | detailScreen | A display form for data entry and modification | Project forms - Table forms |
| Detail Form for Printing | detailPrinter | A printed report with one page per record, such as an invoice | Project forms - Table forms |
| リストフォーム | listScreen | A form for listing records on the screen | Table forms |
| List Form for Printing | listPrinter | A printed report that list records | Table forms |
| なし | no destination | A form with no specific feature | Project forms - Table forms |

Save Geometry
When the option is used, if the window is opened using the Open form window command with the * parameter, several form parameters are automatically saved by 4D when the window is closed, regardless of how they were modified during the session:
- the current page,
- the position, size and visibility of each form object (including the size and visibility of list box columns).
This option does not take into account objects generated using the
OBJECT DUPLICATEcommand. In order for a user to recover their environment when using this command, the developer must repeat the sequence of creation, definition and positioning of the objects.
When this option is selected, the Save Value option is available for certain objects.
