The Form Builder allows you to create Forms for inserting or modifying Database Records.

dbExpress Form Workflow

depending on the context, the form can behave in 3 different ways:

dbExpress Form Initialization

• Empty Form (New Record)

  The Form will always insert a new record in the selected table/service

• Load Data from Repeater (update or view mode)

  Use this setting when the Form is placed inside a page that is called from a Repeater from another page (master-detail).
  The form will automatically load the data from the selected Repeater line, and will let you modify the data.
  If the Form is read-only, then it is a wqy to display data (Like a displayer)
  

• Load Unique User Record (Single Record Update)

  V3.5

  With this setting, the Form will try to load a unique record from a table/service belonging to the current user. If the record doesn't exist, then it will be automatically created.
  It creates a 1 to 1 relation ship between the user and the selected table.
  It is usefull for example if you want to create a table of user preferences.
  

  Important

  The "Load Unique User Record" setting works only for authentified users, for an anonymous session, the Form will be automatically disabled.
