# Create Forms

## Overview

This article walks through creating a Form in the Decisions Platform.

---

1. In a Project, go into any Designer Folder and click CREATE FORM from the **Global Action Bar** to go directly to the Form Designer. A Form can also be created using the **Show Form** step in the [Flow Designer](https://documentation.decisions.com/version-10/docs/create-flows) and clicking PICK OR CREATE FORM on the **Properties** panel.
2. From the Favorites section, name and describe the Form and select Create.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1782933681388.png)
  1. Various Form templates are also available under the Normal Form section. See the table below for further details.

| Form Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| Form | Creates a blank Form |
| Approval Form [template] | A Form containing two Buttons: Approve and Deny |
| Mobile Form [template] | A Form that creates a user interface designed for interaction from mobile devices |
| Mobile Form (iPhone) [template] | A Form that creates a user interface designed for interaction from iPhone devices |
| Section Form [template] | A Form containing a HeaderContainer control that may be expanded once clicked on |
| 4 Column Form [template] | A Form containing 4 Columns upon creation |
3. In the Form Designer, the **Toolbox** panel contains all the [Form Controls](/version-10/docs/form-control-glossary) that can be added to the Form workspace. Click and drag a Form control and place it on the Form.
4. When adding a control to the Form workspace, enter a name for the control and press Enter to set the name.
5. Form Controls can be resized using the resize handles on the edges or corners. Resizing into objects is not allowed and will cancel the resize.
6. The Form can be resized and configured to display a different [layout](https://documentation.decisions.com/version-10/docs/layouts-overview). The default layout for the Form is the [Flex Layout](/version-10/docs/flex-layout) which adjusts component positioning and size based on content and screen size.
7. After the Form has been configured. Click **Save** to save changes to the Form and close the Form Designer.![](https://cdn.document360.io/6ef8bcc1-6489-4486-9ad1-83acff7e5df0/Images/Documentation/image-1779395128682.png)
