Projects host Form elements, where users can enter and view data, and Flow, where the processing steps of the project can be specified. Both the form and the flow part are designed with the objects needed for the purpose of the project. Customized Form Objects are used when designing the form portion and customized Flow Objects are used when designing the flow portion. In the development interface, the active screen is the form screen, while the toolbox lists the form objects, while the active screen is the flow screen, while the toolbox lists the flow objects. Objects of form and flow each have their own characteristics, purposes of use, and actions.
