Form Behaviours

Form behaviors are a way to make forms more interactive and automate certain actions. They determine how a form works and responds when users interact with it.

One example is when scheduling an event. Form behaviors can be set up to guide users through a series of steps like entering the event name, choosing dates, and setting reminders. This makes the scheduling process smoother and more organized.

Another useful thing form behaviors can do is connect form fields to specific sections of a calendar view. For instance, you can set it up so that when a user clicks on an event in the calendar, they see details like the event title and date pulled straight from the corresponding form fields.

The best part is that form behaviors are fully customizable based on what your app needs. This flexibility allows you to create forms that are dynamic and interactive. With the right behaviors in place, forms become much more efficient and user-friendly.

There are two key behaviors involved in event scheduling: the event behavior and the calendar behavior. The event behavior maps form fields to sections like “Event Mapper” for scheduling details and “Event Details” for what shows up on the calendar view. The calendar behavior links the calendar view itself to those scheduled events.

Form behaviors can also automate workflows based on scheduled events. For example, you can set it to trigger a specific workflow process by entering that workflow’s ID.

In simple terms, form behaviors give you the power to make forms respond automatically to user actions and data in smart, flexible ways.
