To create a new DataForm.NET component set, first of all, you need to connect to database and pick a datasource(Table or View). Please see create a DataForm.NET for more information. On the DataForm Designer page, there are three tabs which represent DataForm Designer , GridForm Designer and Criteira Designer. They all use the same database information defined here.

• Connection is the database connection that will be used to connect to different database.
• Table/View Name. Each DataForm maps a table/view in database.
• DataForm ID is an identifier of each DataForm.NET set. The DataForm ID can not be modified after it is saved. If you want to modify DataForm ID, Duplicate that DataForm.NET suite, give it a different name and delete the original DataForm.NET set.
• Category is used to organize the DataForm.NETs when the number of DataForm.NET goes large. Category can be managed in Category Manager.
