Locking and Unlocking Forms

Once you have completed your form layout, you can lock the form to prevent its field labels, field objects, or fields from being moved or resized.

When a form is locked, you can’t change its layout but you can add data to it in the following ways:

•	Enter data in fields in the same way as when the form is unlocked.

•	Create fields using the New Field dialog. Fields are automatically added to the bottom of the first column.

•	Drag libraries and collections from the Libraries pane to create related data fields

•	Drag files from the Finder to create media or file list fields

Note  You can’t drag existing fields from the Fields pane to a locked form.

To lock a form:

1	Select a form in the navigation bar or choose View > Form View > Form Name.

2	Choose Forms > Lock Form, or click then click .

None of the field labels, field objects, or fields can be moved or resized until you unlock the form.
