Working with Form Portlets

This portlet displays a form with fields that provide details about a single object such as a permit, service request, or address. Some fields contain editable information. Fields may require users to enter only numbers or only dates. A field may also require users to choose an option from a drop-down list. Use the form portlet to search for existing records in your system or to create new records. The image below is an example of form portlet structure.

Note:

Drop-down list options which are no longer available when creating new records, continue to appear as valid selections for fields in the following sections of the records where they appear:

Address, Parcel and Owner (APO) Template

Application-Specific Information (ASI), Task-Specific Info (TSI), and People Template pages

ASI, People, Asset Attribute, and Asset Condition Assessment Attribute tables
