Add Form to Portal

Overview

Add Form to Portal

Users access forms from Page Parts. Elsewhere in this knowledge base are detailed instructions about how to add Pages and Page Parts. Add Form to Portal is a shortcut that simplifies the process. Later on, you can edit the page part to modify the settings as may be desired.
