Applies To: Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R3, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 R2, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012 Feature Pack, Microsoft Dynamics AX 2012

This section of the documentation describes how to design, build, and customize a Microsoft Dynamics AX form. A typical form displays a collection of related data and often includes descriptive text, and graphic elements like lines and images. To create or modify a form, you use the Application Object Tree (AOT). You can also use X++ to dynamically create and display a form. You can design forms to do the following:

• Enter or modify data in the database

• Open other forms or reports

• Activate commands, such as Create Record or Delete Record

• Accept and act on user input
