Form Set Properties

A useful feature associated with form sets is that you can save metadata that describes the characteristics, authors, associated files and embedded sets associated with a form set. This data can be useful when you need to keep track of the contents of a form set and any recent changes made to it.

To view the properties of a form set, right-click on the form set in the Form Set Manager and select Properties from the right-click menu.

Alternatively, click the Forms button in an open form, select a form set in the Forms dialog and then click the Properties button.
