The Forms feature is used in our legacy store only. For information on how to publish content in Store 2.0, see Content.
For each event, an unlimited number of forms may be uploaded. Forms can be real paper forms in PDF format that appear in a library, or forms can represent customized "pages" on your storefront for the event (such as a shipping label).

Form Display On the Storefront
Forms with true PDF attachments appear in the Forms Library. The link to the Forms Library is found in the "Links" frame:
It can optionally be configured to appear in the Additional Information frame:
Forms Grid in Admin
When the “Forms” menu option is selected, a grid lists all forms that have been uploaded for the event:
Forms Form
The detailed form for defining an event form looks like this:
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
| Name | Name of the Form. This will appear on the storefront. |
| Supplier | The Supplier to which the form belongs to. This is for reference only and has no impact on the form's visual state on the storefront. |
| Show in Shopping Menu | Determines whether the name of the form is listed at the bottom of the other shopping navigation categories. |
| This is a header |
Determines how the form's title appears in the Additional Information. When checked, the entry is not a link to a detail page; instead, it becomes the header for forms below it. For a brief instructional video on how this works, click on the Video button below. |
| Display Order | Controls the order in which it appears within the Forms Library. If it is flagged to appear within the Shopping menu, all forms always appear below the main shopping departments but this order determines what sort order within the forms it will appear. |
| Choose New File | Browse to upload the appropriate PDF |
| Description | This description appears next to the form link. |

Copy Forms From Another Event
You may have forms in another event that you want to use in your current event. There might have also been a "library" of forms set up during your initial configuration period where Telling Stone stored generic forms you want to reuse. This would have been done in a fictitious event "*Forms". In either scenario, it is easy to copy forms into your current event:
- Click on the "Copy Forms from Another Event" link above the Forms grid. An Event Picklist appears.
- Search for the event you want to copy from, or select the *Forms event to use the generic forms uploaded during your initial configuration. Either double click to move the event to the right hand side of the Picklist or hit the >> button while highlighting it.
- Click the "Apply Selection" button.
- The forms from the other event now appear. You can delete any you don't want in this event if necessary.
Edit a Form
To edit details for a form previously uploaded, click "Edit" in the row of the form to be modified.
Delete a Form
A form may be deleted at any time. To make a form no longer appear in the forms area for the Event, click "Delete" in the row of the form to be removed from the event's Storefront.
