Define form properties

Specify the layout and functions available to content authors when creating a new item based on this authoring template.

1. Choose a layout option from the list in the Select content form layout field.
   • Collapsible sections: Organizes the sections vertically and enables the content author to expand and collapse the sections as needed.
   • Labeled sections: Organizes the sections of the content form vertically and separates the sections with a label.
   • Tabbed: Organizes the sections horizontally on the form and provides access to the different sections with tab-like links.
   • No Sections: Arranges all elements on the form vertically without organization by section.
2. Select Allow elements to be managed by editors to allow content creators to add additional elements. If not selected, the "Manage elements" button is not visible to content creators.
3. Select whether a default style sheet component is used when rendering rich text elements in the content form.
   1. Click Select default style sheet. This style sheet is used on pages where a style element tag is used to reference a style sheet using the parameter source="template".
   2. Select a style sheet component from the list of available style sheet components, or click None if you do not want to apply a style sheet component.
   3. Click OK.
4. Select which actions to hide from content creators.
5. Select how the toolbar is displayed to content creators.
6. To display button in reverse order, select Reverse the button order within the toolbar.
7. If you want to override the default help text for the content form with help text specific to your environment, enter the help text in the Content form help text field.

   The help text you create in this field applies to the entire content form. When the content author clicks the Show help link on the content form, the help text is displayed in a dedicated area of the form.

   With the embedded editor provided in this field, you can add help text as HTML. You can format the HTML text using the design view, which provides toolbar buttons for common tasks, or you can work directly with the text in a source view that displays the HTML tagging. If you have previously prepared content in HTML format that you want to include in the help, you can import that content using the embedded editor.

   Note: Although link components can be selected using the insert link button, link components do not work in content form help.
