Configuring Forms
To configure a form, drag and drop such fields as text columns and drop-down lists onto the form and lay them out. Up to 500 fields can be placed in a form.
Creating an App from Scratch page also describes details on how to set forms.
For each field, you can set the field name and whether that field entry is required.
To configure a field, hover the mouse cursor over the setting icon
on the upper right side of the field, and click Settings.
