Introduction
If you want users to be able to create, update, view, or delete anything from the database, you must build forms. this is a new line.
A maintenance form is a screen that allows a user to work with data. This process creates a maintenance form.
Prerequisites
- The entity on which the forms are to be based must already exist. If you want to restrict users’ access based on validation rules, they must already be configured in the entity.
- The forms themselves also must not already exist. You can’t create multiple forms with the same ID. But, you can create multiple forms using the same entity.

- Preview option is provided in Xelence itself. The LOB application can be viewed by clicking the ‘Preview’ option.
