The main form is used when creating and editing records. It is the form most users will interact with in a model-driven app. Forms are an asset of an entity. Each entity has at least one main form.

The same form definition is used for web applications, Outlook clients, and the mobile apps for tablets and phones. The form automatically adjusts to the screen's orientation and size. The form can be rendered very differently in different clients.
