Components of a Form Definition

The basic elements in a Form definition are:

<Form>
   <Attributes>    (map of name/value pairs that influence the form renderer)
   <Button>     (determine form processing actions)
   <Section>    (Subdivision of form; may contain nested Sections and Fields)
     <Field>    (may contain Attributes map, Script to set value, Allowed Values Definition script, and Validation Script)

Within each of these sections of the form definition, certain attributes might apply to some form uses and not to others. The table below provides a high-level overview of which of the available form elements can be specified for each.

* Limitations on the Attribute and Button elements for Identity provisioning policy are discussed in Attributes and Buttons.
