Abstract: A visual form designer is disclosed. A target user interface is configured to display a particular form. A design user interface is used to design the target user interface. The design user interface includes at least a widget-selection section and a form-design section. The design user interface also includes various layout options for displaying a form template in the form-design section. An interface widget may be dragged from the widget-selection section to a particular location in the form template in the form-design section. The design user interface displays an instance of the interface widget at the particular location in the form template. A different layout may be selected. The design user interface displays the instance of the interface widget at a different location in the form template in the different layout. Hence, instances of interface widgets in the form template are rearranged based on a selected layout option.

Abstract: A visual form designer is disclosed. A target user interface is configured to display a particular form. A design user interface is used to design the target user interface. The target user interface includes an instance of an interface widget. A customizable widget property of the interface widget is a set of selectable values for the interface widget. As an example, the interface widget may be a dropdown menu for accepting one of a set of selectable values. The design user interface displays multiple existing data sources. Each data source specifies a limited set of selectable values. The design user interface receives user input selecting one of the data sources. The instance of the interface widget is configured to accept a value from the limited set of selectable values specified by the selected data source. Hence, the instance of the interface widget is integrated with the selected data source.
