Creation of input forms
You can use the Data Page builder to create forms that prompt the user for input and to automate the display of input controls and the processing of inputs.
Use the Input Form Builder when you want to create an input page for my data service operation, which does not return result data. This builder creates an input page for a data service operation or a method. It is much like View & Form input page support, but the next action after submitting the input form is a user-specified action. This builder is suitable for operations that do not have result data to display.
Because the Data Page builder uses a schema to control its behavior, you can change the form simply by altering the schema that defines the form input.
The Data Page builder inserts the input form at a named location on a page in the model. This page can be as simple as the page1 page included in the Main and Page base model or it can be an imported page that has been created by an HTML designer. If the page contains input elements, the Data Page builder can map the elements in an XML variable to these inputs. You can also configure the Data Page builder to determine the input fields to display based on a schema associated with the variable or a combination of the input fields defined on the page and the elements defined by the schema.
