Form Properties Summary

 

It is possible to set default values for many of these form properties in the presentation template associated with a form. The default properties are configured in the Form section within the Presentation Template Editor.

JSPs tab

This tab allows you to specify the paths of the optional surrounding JSPs. JSPs specified here override any default values configured for form default properties in the form’s presentation template, and can themselves be overridden by specifying values for the Page Control properties for individual pages. Click here for info on the precedence of the various JSP configuration parameters.

 

Both JSP and HTML files can be used.

 

Note that in addition to this “surrounding JSP” option, JSP and HTML files can be included at any point on a page using an Include Control.
