Creating a Simple Form

Let's create a simple form containing text, numeric data and select lists.

Let's watch this:

In this tutorial, we will use Scaffolding to create a form for a user to fill in with data. Then, we will reuse that data and display it in a structured way.

Ingredients

Guide

Create a simple form:

1. Create a table as in the following image:
   

   

   
    

2. Add Scaffolding macros like Text Data, Collecting and Displaying Data in a Structured Way, List Data, List Option, and Number Data as in the following image.
   

   

   
   
   Remember to give each macro a meaningful name.

3. You can now click Edit Contents to enter data into the form.

Notes

• To simplify editing of Text Data you can set the Content Type to text instead of richtext

• To allow multiple selection for List Data you need to click on Allow Multiple

• If there are many pages with the similar content consider using Live Template

• Remember to use unique Names to avoid conflicts
