Adding New Columns to Forms

  1. When a new column field is added to a list you must determine whether the field will appear on the Display form, New form or Edit form (or all three). The decision will depend on the purpose of the field.

To add the new column to the Flex Edit and New forms, take steps to open the new item by using either the Quick Search, Create New Item Wizard, Display Form or Custom Menu.

  1. Once the New form is in display, use either the Tools icon to Display/Edit properties OR select Page–Edit Page in the top Toolbar

  2. Drag and drop the field from the Available fields column to the Selected fields column to the location of your choice.

  3. Save the Web Part changes to the New form by clicking “OK” then “Stop Editing” from the main toolbar.

  4. Add the new field to the Edit form by opening an existing item for that same List and perform edit steps as in the New Form.
  5. To add the new field to the Display form, open the Display form for the item. Use either the Tools icon to Display/Edit properties OR select Page–Edit Page in the top Toolbar. Locate the “Flex Configuration” section. Then locate the Columns (for Table 1) or (Table 2) and insert the field where you want it placed.
