Overview

iVendNext’s Customize Form tool empowers users to tailor forms (DocTypes) to their business needs. Whether you need to add custom fields, modify labels, or configure print formats, this tool provides flexibility without requiring technical expertise.

Key Benefits:

• Adapt forms to industry-specific terminology.

• Streamline workflows with default settings (e.g., email templates, sort orders).

• Enhance data visibility in lists and print layouts.

How to Access Customize Form

1. Navigate to: Home > Customization > Form Customization > Customize Form.

2. Alternatively, open any DocType list (e.g., Sales Order) and select Customize from the menu.

Step-by-Step Customization Guide

1. Basic Form Properties

After selecting a Form Type, configure:

• Change Label: Rename fields (e.g., "Customer" → "Client").

• Title Field: Set which field displays in list views (e.g., "Employee Code" instead of "Name").

• Default Print Format: Assign a preferred template for printing.

2. Field Management

• Add Custom Fields: Insert new fields to capture additional data.

• Reorder Fields: Drag-and-drop fields to adjust their placement.

• Hide/Show Fields: Toggle visibility for specific roles or workflows.

Pro Tip: Use Custom Fields for industry-specific data like "Warranty Period" or "Service Tier."

3. Advanced Options

• Track Changes: Monitor edits made to documents.

• Quick Entry: Enable pop-up forms for faster data entry.

• Allow Auto-Repeat: Automate recurring documents (e.g., monthly invoices).

Practical Examples

Example 1: Renaming a Field

1. Open Customize Form for "Sales Order."

2. Locate the "Customer" field and update its label to "Client."

3. Save changes—the update reflects across all forms.

Example 2: Configuring Print Formats

1. Disable Print Hide for the "Shipping Address" field.

2. Update the form and reload iVendNext to see the change in print preview.

Best Practices

Some of the best practices are:

• Test Changes: Always clear cache (Tools > Clear Cache) after updates.

• Document Customizations: Maintain a log of modifications for future reference.

• Role-Based Access: Restrict customization rights to admin roles to avoid conflicts.
