Overview
If you want to include more controls in your app or more options to show the data, you can use the power of native Entity forms from Bizagi Studio, through Entity form pages. This is a type of page that allows you to associate an Entity form, to records in a collection or to a button. When you click an element from the collection or the button, Bizagi will show the form with its information. This lets you visualize the Entity data and attributes. It is important to note that when forms are displayed in Bizagi Apps, they are read-only. Hence, they must be edited in Bizagi Studio.
|
Bear in mind that if the form has interactive elements like buttons or text fields, they will not be displayed in the form shown in Bizagi Apps. Nevertheless, if it has tabs, you will be able to navigate through them. |
