Data Source

Description

The Data Source pane is where the data source for the form view control is defined. Generally, using a list control as the data source is the simplest approach. Javascript functions, Static JSON, and Custom data can also be used as a data source.

Name
Description
Datasource type

The data source for the FormView control. You can select a List control, a Javascript object, or other controls on a UX that would typically be hidden.

List name

Specify the list to which you want to add the form view. This is perhaps the simplest option when creating a form view for the first time.

Javascript function name

The name of the JavaScript function to call to populate the FormView control. You must include the () with the function name. E.G. myJSFunction().

Sample data

Example JSON that defines the structure of the FormView control's data source.

UX Controls

One or more UX controls to read data from to populate the FormView.

Static JSON

If you set the Data Source type property to be Static JSON then you will be prompted to define this data using the Static JSON property.
