In this topics, we will create a new sample BizForm via the BizForms module's user interface. This topic doesn't explain all options that are available in the user interface. For a detailed description of each option, please refer to the built-in context help, which is accessible by clicking the Help icon in the top-right corner of the user interface.

 

1. Go to CMS Desk -> Tools -> BizForms and click the NewBizForm New form link. Enter the following details:

 

•Form display name: Event registration
•Form code name: EventRegistration
•Table name: Form_EventRegistration

 

Click OK.

 

2. You will be redirected to the General tab of the new BizForm's editing interface. Enter the following values:

 

•Display text: Thank you for your registration. We will confirm it shortly by e-mail.
•Submit button text: Register

 

Click OK.
