Form: redesigned forms – a
brand new look in Axapta 2012.
A form is a window that you open from the Microsoft Dynamics AX client workspace that shows information and enables you to perform actions.
For example, the following figure shows the form you use to view and enter information about a customer. Notice how the form has tabs, fields, and buttons that you can use to view, update, and perform actions with a customer record.

Form
Templates:
To create a form that implements a design pattern, you use a form template.
The template generates a new form that has the basic structure and components specified by the design pattern.
The template reduces the number of steps that you have to complete to create the new form.
List page: Use the template to create a list
page you can use to find, analyze, and performs actions on master data.
Example: CustTableListPage To open this
form: Under Accounts Receivable, click Common > Customers > All
Customers.
DetailsFormMaster(Detail form): Use
the template to create a Details form to view, edit, and act on master
data.
Example: CustTable. To open this form:
Under Accounts Receivable, click Common > Customers > All Customers,and
then double-click an entry in the list.
DetailsFormTransaction (Details form with lines): Use
the template to create details form with lines to view, edit, and act
on master data that has line items.
Example: SalesTable. To open this form:
Under Accounts Receivable, click Common > Sales Orders > All Sales
Orders, and then double-click an entry in the list.
Dialog: Use
the template to create a dialog window that provides a response to a
question.
Example: DirPartyQuickCreateForm .To
open this form: Under Accounts Receivable, click Common > Customers > All
Customers. On the Action pane, in the New group, click Customer.
DropDialog: Use the template to create a drop
dialog form to perform an action with data.
Example: HcmWorkerNewWorker. To open
this form: Under Human Resources, click Common > Workers > Workers. On
the Action pane, in the New group, click Hire New Worker.
Simple
List: View, enter, and update records that
appear as a list of records in a grid.
Example: CustGroup. To open this form:
Under Accounts Receivable, click Setup > Customers > Customer Groups.
SimpleListDetails: Use
the template to create a simple list and details form to view, edit,
and act on dependent and reference data.
Example: CustPosting To open this form:
Under Accounts Receivable, click Setup > Customer Posting Profiles.
TableOfContents: Use
the template to create a table of contents form to view and edit
configuration or setup data.
Example: CustParameters To open this form:
Under Accounts Receivable, click Setup > Accounts Receivable Parameters.
Components:
Methods: You add or override X++
methods for the form. You can use X++ to customize the appearance and behavior
of the form.
Data Sources: You specify the database query,
table, or view that the form uses to retrieve the data that appears in the
form.
Parts: You add Parts that appear on
the form. A Part is a specialized type of control that provides information
related to the record that appears in the form. List pages and details forms
have a FactBox pane or preview pane where the Parts appear.
Designs: You add the controls that
appear on the form to the Design node of the form.
