Create forms with Form Builder, the Orbeon Forms visual form designer. It allows you to build and deploy forms in minutes right from your web browser. Add form fields, including rich controls such as date, currency, file attachments and more. Group your fields in sections. Define validation logic, visibility rules, initial values. Pre-populate fields from Web or REST services. And there is more!
