Summary page

Introduction

The Form Runner Summary page shows, for a given published form, the list of accessible data in a table with paging. It allows:
  • Listing and searching data
  • Creating new data
  • Editing or visualizing existing data
  • Deleting data
  • Duplicating data
  • Navigating to the Home page and Import page
  • Opening a PDF or TIFF version of the form

    • This is the data's creation date.
    • You can optionally remove this column via configuration.
  • Last Modified:
    • This is the data's last modification date.
    • You can optionally remove this column via configuration.
  • Custom columns:
By default, the Summary page shows a single search box which does a full-text search in the form data.
You can open the search options using the "Show Search Options" button. The search options area contains individual search fields which allow performing a structured search, or search by field.

Dynamic dropdowns

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2023.1]
For dynamic dropdowns, the original service used to populate the dropdown is not called again, but distinct values from accessible data are listed. This is also done in the bulk edit area if dynamic dropdowns are present.
Search Options
You specify which fields appear in the search options area when editing the form definition, using the Control Settings dialog.

Versioning

[SINCE Orbeon Forms 2018.2]
When more than one form version is available, the user has the choice of the version to access. Different versions can behave like very different forms. Also see the properties to configuring the behavior of the summary page with regards to versioning.
