Select your user interface:

Display a Data Form in the Summary Section

The summary section typically contains a DataForm element to identify a View Data Form to display within the summary section.

Space is Limited within the Summary Section

By default the form fields and other user interface elements on a data form will be displayed vertically. If you are attempting to display a lot of items on the form, you may require a greater degree of control in how you use the limited space in the summary section. In these situations, consider adding a UI Model and corresponding HTML file. to your data form. See UI Model Overview.

However, the data form is not our only choice for display within the summary section. In addition to a data form, we can display any one of the following:
