1. Edit the action

The Action Editor displays.

2. Set the Pane Properties

The form in the example below has two columns and one row. A control can be added to each pane in the form.

Note: Unused exterior row and column panes are deleted when the form is closed. You can opt to add additional row and column panes if you re-edit the form. You can delete unused interior rows and columns by adjusting the number of Columns and Rows in the Pane Properties field.

3. Add controls to the form

The Control Selector displays.

4. Select a Control for that pane

5. Set the properties for each form action

In the Entry Field pane:

Label: Enter a label for the entry field.

Value: Set the initial value for the entry field.

Output Variable. Set the name of the output variable assigned to the value of this field. The value is always a string.

In the Web Browser pane:

Click the options button to display a URL or HTML.

To use a URL, select the URL options button.

To use Html, select the HTML options button. Click Edit to open the Html Editor. Use the editor to write custom html to display the browser in that pane.

6. Optionally add text for a button to display

If the field is blank, no button displays. When text is entered for Button Text, a button displays on the pane with that label.

7. Optionally add text in the Description text field

This could be a label for this action that helps you distinguish between actions when more than one Display Form is used in a Python Script dashboard control, for example. The label only displays when the dashboard is in design/edit mode.
