NC4 - E Team - R9.8 E Team Form Builder - Form Builder Manager Access and Controls

The Form Builder Manager window is where all design, publishing, and management for your organization's custom form usage is controlled.

From your E Team Menu select Administration > Form Builder to launch the manager tool.

Your window will look similar to the above although not all controls will be visible until a form is added.

1. This area of the title bar will display the custom forms version and platform being deployed with your E Team solution.
2. This area of the title bar will display your name, E Team id, and E Team system name.
   When you access Form Builder from Training, you will see the Training watermark in the background. You can also set your E Team System Display Name on the General Configuration document in Training to indicate it is Training so that this displays in the title bar.
