In this chapter, we will many of the tasks when creating a user interface. This continues on from Chapter 2, Data Structures. As discussed in Chapter 2, Data Structures, we usually create tables and forms as part of the same process; so, the recipes in this chapter will involve completing a few properties in the data model.

When creating forms, we must provide consistency to the users, and to aid with this, we will use form design patterns. The form design pattern is determined by the table group, as stated in Chapter 2, Data Structures. There are special cases when we can have variations but, for the main part, we should stick to the patterns suggested in this chapter.
