Define Your Data
To get started using Forms, you first define the data you want to record or access.
Forms is fully relational, so you can define one-to-one and one-to-many relationships between tables.
Beyond just basic table columns you can setup auto-enter and auto-update column properties, which automatically update the value of a column whenever a record is modified.

Design Your Interface
Designing your database interface is as simple as dragging and dropping elements onto your layout. You can add text fields, labels, buttons, popup buttons, checkboxes and images, and link them to your table columns.
You can use custom buttons to perform common actions such as navigating between layouts and records, and inserting auxiliary information such as timestamps into table columns.
You can even show related lists, which are views into other tables showing relevant records based on relationships you define.
Forms provides two layout styles, form view and list view. Form layouts show one record at a time, while lists presents all records as a single vertically scrolling list.
