Current Step Form Template

The tab allows you to define the appearance of worfklow form at the given step only. It is possible to define the order and position of fields and item lists when the global order inheritance is broken. Otherwise, settings from the Global form template will be used. Similarly, defining system area visibility in the step is available only after using the option of breaking settings inheritance. Besides changing the order of form fields, item lists, and item list columns - you can also change settings such as visibility, editability or requirement to specify a value before continuing. By setting the edit option, you can specify if a field/column will be displayed in the edit mode or read-only mode. It is also possible to select an intermediate state – when the field is displayed in the read-only mode and field controls are rendered, which will enable e.g. JavaScript operations in this field.

You can also define advanced settings by clicking on the tool icon (i.e. crossed wrench and screwdriver) next to the specific field / item list / item list column.
