{toc} [imageright|Designing with Form Maker|{UP}Form%20Maker%2fFormMaker.png] ===Jetfire Form Maker Web Part=== The Jetfire Form Maker Web Part can be used to build forms, quizes and surveys. It is a visual designer that is used to auto-generate Jetfire code that is automatically ready to deploy. ====Access==== The Web Part is accessed from the [Jetfire Forms Web Part Library]. ====Example using Form Maker==== To create a form, follow these steps: # (Optional) If the Show Existing Classes option is selected, then the user will see a list of Namespaces from which to pick an existing Jetfire Code Class. If the user selects the Namespace and Class name, this Jetfire Code Class is displayed in FormMaker. (The image to the right shows this option.){BR}{BR} # Define the properties of the form. (This may also be questions for a survey or quiz.) ** Add a property (question) ** Enter the name of the property ** Enter the type of input expected from the user ** Repeat until all properties are added{BR}{BR} # Define a Form Folder Name and Form Name for the form.{BR}{BR} # Save the form. ** If there are errors, correct the errors and save the form again. ** If there are no errors, the form is ready to use. ''Note'': In this example, the Form Folder name and Form Name are the same as the original Jetfire code class. In this case, the user is warned that the form will overwrite this Jetfire code class when the form is saved. If this is your intention, then continue with this name. A new version of the Jetfire code class is created. Review the [Jetfire Code Life Cycle|Jetfire Code Life Cycle] to see how Form Maker deploys forms.

Edit the Web Part to view the Configuration attributes list. These are used to customize the look and feel of Form Maker. * __Type of Form__: Form Maker may be used to create multiple types of forms, including: ** 1 question surveys ** Multiple Question Surveys or Quiz's ** Standard Forms * __Show Existing Classes__: FormMaker may be used to edit existing Jetfire code classes, when checked. ** If FormMaker is configured for the multiple question Quiz, FormMaker will only display Quiz classes in the list. * __Namespaces__: If Show Existing Classes is checked, all namespaces are displayed in the control. This can be limited by adding a comma delimited list of namespaces that the form designer is allowed to view. For this case, all namespaces loaded into the Nexus are displayed. * __Show Code__: the show code option, when checked, will display a Verify link on the form. When clicked, Verify validates the form and displays the automatically generated Jetfire code. This is useful for Jetfire designers. * __Is Demo Mode__: this option, when checked, is used to display one folder and class name - this is useful not only in demo mode, but in live deployments where the user wants to automatically have new surveys deployed. * __Folder Name__: The Folder Name is the folder where this Jetfire code class is stored. * __Class Name__: The Class Name is the name of this Jetfire code class. * [Jetfire Web Part Common Features|Jetfire Common Edit Properties]
