Summary page
[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2026.1]
Introduction
The Summary Page tab of the Form Settings dialog allows you to configure the visibility of form metadata columns on the Summary page. This provides a per-form alternative to using global properties, and adds the ability to restrict column visibility by user role.
The following form metadata columns can be configured:
Created
Last Modified
Created By
Last Modified By
Workflow Stage
Display options
For each metadata column, you can choose one of the following options:
Use property (default): the column's visibility is determined by the corresponding global property.
Show: the column is always shown on the Summary page (subject to an optional role restriction, see below).
Hide: the column is never shown on the Summary page.
Role restriction
When "Show" is selected for a metadata column, a "Restrict to role" checkbox appears. When checked, an input field allows you to enter a role name. You can add multiple roles by using the "+" button.
When two or more roles are specified, a dropdown allows you to choose between:
All: all specified roles must be present for the column to be shown.
Any: at least one of the specified roles must be present for the column to be shown.
This is the same mechanism as the role restriction in the Control Settings dialog.
Interaction with properties
The form-level settings in this tab take precedence over the corresponding global properties. If a metadata column is set to "Use property" (the default), the global property is used as a fallback.
