Utilizing Existing Table Data

[Alohajoe5]

So I've now got nuBuilder Forte setup and am able to login with globeadmin. Having read through the User Guide and watched several of the videos I see how it can be used to create forms from scratch. I already have an entire database that I've ported over to the server that nuBuilder lives on. What do I need to do to use nuBuilder with existing tables?

Hi, use the Fast Form Builder to create your forms.

Ok, I guess what I don't understand is that I already have tables with data and field names. They do not auto-populate in nuBuilder. Do I have to recreate the field names?

In the Builder, you must select the fields to be displayed on the form. You must also specify the object type (text field, checkbox etc.) for each field.

Alohajoe5,

The Form Builder can either use an existing table or create a new one.

I hope this helps.

Thank you all! The issue was with the column data format--data would display on the table but not on the record edit page. Recreating the form with correctly defined data types resulted in the data displaying correctly both on the table and record edit pages.
