Use this display-only dialog box to view details about the extended form you are working with in Design Mode.

Field/Tab/Option Description/Comments

Scope Type

Specifies whether the scope under which the extended form was created was:

  • Vendor Default
  • Site
  • Group

Lists all the event handlers defined for the form

This list subdivides the list into lists of the event handlers on any ancestor versions of the form (one sublist for the base form and one for each other extended version in the hierarchy) and the list of event handlers unique to this extended version.

Form Variables tab

Lists all the form variables defined for the form

This list subdivides the list into lists of the variables on any ancestor versions of the form (one sublist for the base form and one for each other extended version in the hierarchy) and the list of variables unique to this extended version.
