Master Forms define the data entry forms used by your business. For example, Customer Invoice, Vendor, General Ledger Account.
A Master Form is a template for a data entry form. The template is copied when a form is needed to capture business data.
A Master Form has two sides.
- Front Side holding fields for capturing data
- Back Side holding definitions and procedures related to the Master Form type
Accessing Master Forms
Master forms are contained in the Master Forms selection list found on the Formever Desktop.
Depending on director access rights the Master Forms selection list might not be visible to all directors. Typically the Executive Director is responsible for creating and modifying master forms.
Open the Master Forms selection list and a selection list similar to the image below will display.
To create a new master form click the ‘Get Blank Master Form’ button.
To open an existing master form click on the master form name in the list.
Note: The Lock Control must set to UNLOCKED before a master form can be edited. The intent of this control is to help prevent accidental changes. Lock the control when finished editing master forms. Generally, it is best to keep this locked for all fiscal periods.
