Custom entities
Form Designer

The Form Designer controls how an entity's form looks: sections, tabs, field order, labels and visibility.

Where

Admin, Framework, then Form Designer (/admin/framework/forms). Pick an entity from the list to open /admin/framework/forms/<entity>.

Steps

  1. Choose the entity (use the search box to filter).
  2. In the Form tab, drag fields from the palette onto the canvas (native drag and drop). Add groups/sections and tabs, and edit properties in the side panel.
  3. Check the Grid tab for the list columns and Preview to see the real form.
  4. Optionally type "What changed" and click Save layout.
  5. Use the History tab to see saved versions.

Buttons

Tips

  • Layouts apply platform-wide for that entity name, not per organization.
  • A field can only be made stricter here (required/read-only); it cannot be loosened below its definition.
  • The header shows "Customized" with the version, or "Using the default layout".
