How to Add and Amend Variables in Forms

Adding variables is essential when making amendments in Form Designer. If a variable is placed on a form without also being added to the variable list, it will result in a form error, causing the form to display and print blank.

Follow these steps to add a variable correctly:

1. Access the Form:

   • Go to Setup > Forms Designer, load the form you want to modify.

2. Add the Variable:

   • Select the Dictionary tab (1), then click on New Variable (2).

3. Enter Variable Details:

   • In the Alias box, input the name of the variable you’ve added.
   • Press OK to activate the variable on the form.

4. Test the Form:

   • To ensure everything is working correctly, click Preview. If the form displays properly, the setup is correct.
