You have two options to create new form elements in the Forms Editor:

Creating New Elements via the Sidebar

One option to create new elements on your work area is to use the Sidebar New Elements. The sidebar provides a selection of preconfigured form elements that can be dragged and dropped into the workspace.

BPaaS (en) > Creating Form Elements > contact_epc.png

Open a form in an EPC model.

BPaaS (en) > Creating Form Elements > navigation_buttons.png

Model your form on the workspace of the Forms Editor.

Each form element already contains the preconfigured Buttons: Go to Overview, Save and Next. You can delete, move, reformat, rename or use them in the version provided.

Presettings of Buttons

	The Sidebar New Elements on the right side of your window lists all available form elements. The elements are organized into four categories: General Forms Complex App-specific Structuring Forms Open a category to display its content.
	Use drag & drop to move elements from the Sidebar New Elements to the work area. The red frame showcases where the new element will be placed.
	After you have created a new form element, you will find the Edit Sidebar next to the Sidebar New Elements. Here you can edit the settings of the currently marked form element, for example rename it, define it as mandatory and much more.

	Use the triangular switches to fold the sidebars in or out. During modeling, this allows a better overview on the workspace.

Creating New Elements Using the Context Menu

You can also create new elements using the Context Menu.

All form elements are listed in the submenu New. First select a category to show its available elements. Create the desired element with a mouse click, for example a date picker.

Configure your element via the sidebar.

In the submenus General, Complex, App-specific and Structuring you will find the same form elements as in the Sidebar New Elements.
