A Print Form is a standard record Form that you can use to generate an HTML or PDF page when you Print a Record.

A Print Form is easy to construct, because you can use the platform's interactive GUI to drag fields into the form and arrange their sequence. As an alternative, you can create a Print Template. It's slightly harder to construct, but you can create any kind of layout you want.

There are two kinds of Forms that are printable:

  • The Default Form is printable when the Viewing a Record option specifies Sectional Layout.
Other layouts can be viewed on screen, but can't be printed.
  • When you Clone a Form, you can specify that it is to be used for Printing.
In that case, the Viewing a Record option is set to Sectional Layout.
