A Form Step is a step within an app specifically designed to collect input from a user.
Unlike a Regular Step that allows for widgets to be placed in any location, Form Steps follow a more rigid placement. The user can select which widgets to display and their order as well as the number of columns.
Available widgets include:
Form Steps also include default buttons for Submit and Cancel. The user can choose to override the default behavior with customer trigger logic.
Widgets on Form Steps also have options for data validation and can be set to be required or have values in a certain range. The form cannot be submitted unless all validation criteria are met.
