Form Builder allows designing creation, editing and viewing forms for objects and editing the existing ones.
There are system and user forms in ELMA. The system administrator creates user forms in ELMA Designer.
System forms are designed and configured by ELMA developers. You cannot delete these forms, but you can extend them. In ELMA Designer, system forms are blue.
User forms are designed and adjusted to a particular user or company in ELMA Designer. You can change or delete these forms. In ELMA Designer, user forms are black.
Form builder allows editing object forms on the following ELMA Designer tabs:
Below are some variants of the Forms (Views) tab for system objects.
1. Working with the form builder is not possible (fig. 1) (e.g. "Filter folder" system object). In this case, default forms will be used in Web Application for this object.

2. Working with the form builder (fig. 2) is impossible, but you can configure views with the Razor markup language (e.g. "Task" system object). In this case, default creation and editing forms and user view form will be used in Web Application.

3. Working with the form builder (fig. 3) is possible, but creating a custom form in the Razor markup is not (e.g. "Contractor" system object). Working with this tab is similar to working with the tab of a user object.
