Form Elements

The tables below list the elements you can use in a Solution Builder form. Click the name of an element for more information.

There is one table for each of the three element types: Common, Advanced, and Container.

Note:

When you deploy a solution, form control data is validated. If a required property is not found, you will receive an error message and information that enables you to address the issue. (If multiple properties are not found, the error messages and information relating to fixing the issue will be displayed in a table format.)

Once a solution is deployed, the workflow node and form control names cannot be changed.
