What's in this video

1. An Action Form lets people add a new row to a list, by filling in a simple form: a new job, a fault report, a leave request. Search for Action Form and click it.
2. Name it, and choose the list the form adds to. Let's make a leave request form: choose Leave.
3. Columns decides which boxes the form asks for. To start with, it shows the first six columns of the list.
4. Staff shouldn't set the status of their own request. A manager does that. So click Remove next to Status.
5. Use Up and Down to change the order of the boxes. Untick boxes you don't need, and tick others to add them.
6. Make it taller, so every box fits, and click Preview.
7. Here's the form. Staff is a list to pick from, because it's linked to the Staff list. Choose a person, type the kind of leave, and the dates.
8. Click Submit, and the request is added to the Leave list, waiting for a manager to approve it.
