In Dynamics CRM, forms comprise various elements. We have various layout elements, including tabs and sections, iframes, sub-grids, and spacers. At the lowest level, we have data fields, which can be placed within some of the previously mentioned containers. Forms can be customized by opening a solution, adding or navigating to the entity you intend to customize, and opening or creating the form to be customized.
Once you have the form open, you can start customizing the form elements. You can add or remove various elements using the controls available on the form's customize screen and the ribbon.
Let's take a look at each one of these elements in detail. We will analyze the form designer and look at all the major elements involved in the customization process.
