Creating a content form

Brightspot provides the ability for you to create content forms to override default field and widget placements on an asset's content edit page.

To create a content form:

1. Click menu > Admin > Users & Roles.

   

2. In the Content Forms widget, select the content type for which you want to create a content form, and then click New.
3. In the Name field, type a name for the form.
4. From the Scope list, select one of the following:
   
   • None—The content form is the default for all roles to which it is assigned.
   • Global—The content form is the global default for all roles, replacing the one automatically generated by Brightspot.
5. From the Accesses list, select read or write access for all tabs and fields on the form. (This setting applies to the entire form; you can override this setting at the tab and field levels in the following steps.)
6. To customize a tab and its fields, do the following:
   
   1. Click the tab field to expand it.
      

      

   2. In the Name field, type a name for the tab.
   3. From the Access list, select whether the tab has read-only or read and write access. By default, the tab has read and write access.
   4. To hide a visible field, drag it to the Hidden Items list. (Do not hide a field that is required in the default content edit page.)
   5. To show a hidden field, drag it to the Visible Items list.
   6. To reorder visible items, drag them to the required position.

   2. In the Name field, type a name for the group.
   3. From the Access list, select whether the fields have read-only or read and write access. By default, the fields have read and write access.
   4. From the Fields list, drag fields into the group and in the desired order.
