Assigning Smart Forms to a Folder
When creating new content in a folder, the New menu provides a list of Smart Forms that you can use to create new XML content. (See graphic below.)
This section explains how to determine the list of Smart Forms available when creating content.
Inheritance and Smart Forms
A folder’s Smart Forms can be inherited from the parent folder, or you can break inheritance and assign a unique group of Smart Forms. Use the Inherit Parent Configuration checkbox to retain or break inheritance.
Assigning a Smart Form to a Folder
If you break inheritance, you then select the Smart Forms that can be assigned to content in the folder using the Smart Forms dropdown list (shown below).
You can preview any Smart Form by clicking Preview (
). To add any Smart Form, select it from the dropdown list and click Add.
To remove a Smart Form, click Remove.
Requiring Smart Forms
You can require a Smart Form to be the only type of content that can be added within a folder. To enable this, click the Require Smart Forms check box on the Smart Forms tab.
If you do, the user can only choose enabled Smart Forms when viewing that folder’s New menu -- all other content types are suppressed.
