The main form editor features are organized into a series of tabs on the editor ribbon. Once you open your form in design mode, 2 additional tabs will appear after standard SharePoint tabs.
- Controls for adding, editing, and customizing content are prominently displayed on Rich Forms tab.
- Expression-based behaviours for configuring complex business logic are available on Behaviour tab.
Drag and Drop
The Form Editor uses a drag and drop interface. Items can be dragged and dropped to reposition them. When dragging an item, move it over the edge of an existing item. A border line will appear indicating the position where it will be inserted. You can drag and drop one item, as well as a group with multiple items in it.
Move your mouse over an item on your form. When the item becomes highlighted, press your left mouse button and drag the placeholder over an existing form item. Position the item so that border line appear to indicate that the position is valid. Release the mouse button.
For already selected items there is a Move selected element icon at the left side. When you click on it the cursor changes to the drop one until you release the left mouse button.
