Forms
A form is the electronic equivalent of a paper form. The Ingres forms-based tools display ready‑made forms in a frame. These forms can contain data fields in which you view or enter data.
Forms consist of trim and fields.
• Trim is independent of the data input and output functions of the form. It can be text that provides helpful information or box graphics that provide a decorative border.
• A field on a form displays data and/or accepts data entry. A field generally corresponds with a value from a table.
