Form

Submit a Form to perform actions with input data. The Form component provides a way for users to view and manipulate multiple data fields with their inputs. Upon submission, forms perform functions like creating (inserting) a new data record, updating an existing record, or calling APIs.

Use a form if you expect the user to interact with multiple data fields for the form's function. If you need a user to enter an email and customer name, select an item from a dropdown, and then write a paragraph of text, forms are your best option. This is usually the best component when your function is to create entirely new data records.

Create Form

To add a Form, simply drag and drop the Form component to the page and then choose the resource and collection for which you want to generate the form.
