Adding and customizing an Edit form
To get started with the Edit form control, from the Insert menu select Edit form. Though there’s also a Display form available to insert, it’s only good for displaying information and can’t be toggled into other modes (for data entry). In nearly all cases, an Edit form is what you want to use in an app. The Edit form allows you to do everything that a Display form allows plus the form can also be used to edit existing records and to create new records. Additionally, it’s fully customizable giving the app maker the ability to build your solution. When in doubt, choose an Edit form.
After you add an Edit form control to the canvas, you can configure the properties via the Properties panel on the right side of the screen or from the Properties drop down on the top left of the screen. The first step is to choose a data source. In the drop-down menu labeled None, you can choose from a data source already in your app, connect to a Dataverse table, connect to a new data source, or create a new table.
