Govern OpenFormsTM Designer (OFD)
Overview
The Govern OpenForms Designer is part of the Govern OpenForms Product Suite. It is available in version 6.0 and above. It is used for designing the end-user forms for Govern OpenForms. These forms are based on the business models and business entities created in the Business Entity Designer, where the attributes are added to the entities, mapped to the database, and the relationships between entities and between tables are created. The OpenForms Designer provides the tools for the intermediate steps between setting up the data mapping performed in the Business Entity Designer and making the forms available in Govern.
The OpenForms Designer (OFD) provides:
- A user-friendly interface
- Easy-to-handle drag and drop tools
- Deployment ease and management with Deploy EZ.
- Access to security permissions without having to open another application.
- Greater flexibility for designing layouts.
- View your new forms immediately in Govern.
- Modify them and see your changes in real time
- Security settings for adding security when you create your forms without having to open another application.
- Add expressions anywhere on form, at the entity level, to an attribute, to a control, or to the Record Description

For details, see the Links section under Properties in the OpenForms Designer guide. Preview Mode is now available in the OpenForms Designer.. This is useful when you are adding margins and test styles. Before adding individual items to a form, you can now define default margins to apply to all items on every form. This ensures consistent spacing across all your user forms. Use the Text Style Editor in GNA to create styles for the text that appears on your forms as headings or labels. You can also use it to create foreground and background colors for the items that appear on forms.
