    • Name: Enter a unique identifier for the form
    • Display Name: Provide a human-readable name
    • Position: Set the position or order (optional)

Step 2: Select Form Category​

Choose the appropriate category for your form:

  • iFrame: For embedding external content
  • List Page: For customizing list page columns (recommended for most use cases)

Step 3: Configure Form Type​

If you selected List Page as the category:

  1. Choose the Type from the dropdown menu

    • Currently supported: Records
    • More types will be added in future versions

  2. The form will automatically populate with default columns for the selected type

Step 4: Customize Form Items​

For each form item (column), you can configure:

Name​

The internal identifier for the column. This corresponds to the data field being displayed.

Available columns for Records include:

  • organization: Organization name

Width​

Set the column width in pixels. This helps optimize the display based on the content length and your screen size.

  • Use narrower widths (90-120px) for short fields like IDs, dates, and status indicators
  • Use wider widths (200-300px) for longer text fields like names, descriptions, and URIs

Arrange columns in your preferred order:

  1. Use the Up arrow button to move a column up
  2. Use the Down arrow button to move a column down
  3. The leftmost columns will appear first in the list page

Step 6: Add or Remove Columns​

  • Add Column: Click the Add button to create a new custom column
  • Remove Column: Click the Delete button next to a column to remove it
  • Reset to Default: Click Reset to Default to restore the original column configuration

Form Categories in Detail​

List Page Forms​

List Page forms are the most commonly used type in Casibase. They allow you to:

  • Customize which columns appear in list views
  • Control column order and width
  • Show/hide columns based on user needs
  • Create optimized views for different workflows

When configuring List Page forms:

  • The Action column is always displayed at the end, regardless of form item configuration
  • At least one column should be visible for the list page to be functional
  • Column names must match the actual data fields available in the backend

Table Forms​

Table forms are used for structured data display in table format. Configuration is similar to List Page forms but may have different available fields based on the data source.

iFrame Forms​

iFrame forms allow you to embed external content or applications within the Casibase interface:

  1. Set the URL field to the external content address
  2. Configure display settings as needed
  3. The content will be displayed in an embedded frame
