Working with form objects

Forms are special objects that provide a mechanism to communicate outside the project. You can configure forms to send a collection of data using email or send and receive a collection of data using a CGI-submit/receive command for both CD- and Web-published projects.

Create a form on a page and then add each form object into the form.

Forms are logical objects because they have no physical representation on a page but can contain form objects. The information contained in the form objects of a form can be submitted using email or a CGI program through a Submit Form action.
