Form Context Type Overview

When you create a form, you must specify its context type. The Context Type value of a form determines what kinds of objects it can update or display information about.

In workflows, the specific objects a form can update or describe is determined by how workflows that use the form are configured and started.

Note: When a form contains Scenario Type fields for Content Type: Portfolio, the form cannot be used to replace the default Details page.
When a form has certain conditions for Content Type: Project, the form cannot be used to create a project or proposal. These conditions are:

  • Mandatory fields are missing in the form.
  • All fields are individually set as read-only.
  • The form is set to read-only (even if fields are editable).
  • The following fields are added to the form: Document Grid, Image, Scenario, or Cost UDFs.
