It defines the fields (columns) that make up a database table and presents them as a user-friendly entry screen. When a user fills in and submits a form, the data is stored as a record in the application&#8217;s database. Forms in Zoho Creator are equivalent to both the database table definition and the data entry interface simultaneously.<\/p>\n<h2>Field Types<\/h2>\n<p>Zoho Creator forms support a wide range of field types: single-line text, multi-line text, number, date, date\/time, email, phone, URL, dropdown, radio button, checkbox, file upload, image, signature, lookup (to other forms), subform (nested records), and formula (calculated) fields.<\/p>\n<h2>Form vs Report<\/h2>\n<p>Forms are for input (adding and editing records). Reports are for output (viewing, filtering, and analysing records). Every form in Zoho Creator automatically generates a default report for viewing its data, though you can build custom reports with specific layouts and filters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A data input interface in Zoho Creator that collects information from users and stores it in the application&#8217;s database, equivalent to a database table with a user-friendly front end.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","meta":{"seo_title":"Form (Creator) | Zoho Glossary | Aaxonix","seo_description":"A data input interface in Zoho Creator that collects information from users and stores it in the application's database, equivalent to a database table wit","seo_keyword":"form zoho creator","seo_faqs":"","term_type":"","glossary_related":"","glossary_links":""},"glossary_category":[1258],"class_list":["post-5117","glossary","type-glossary","status-publish","hentry","glossary_category-zoho-creator"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary\/5117","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/glossary"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5117"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"glossary_category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/aaxonix.com\/resources\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/glossary_category?post=5117"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
