Selecting a Primary Form

The Primary Form is the main form in a report.  If a report contains multiple forms, such as a 1004 Single Family 2005, 1007 Rent Survey, and a 216 Operating Income Statement, one form is designated as the Primary Form.

  1. You can access the Add/Remove Forms feature in three ways:
    1. Click File > Add/Remove Forms.
    2. Click the (Add/Remove Forms) icon.
    3. Press Alt+F+F on the keyboard.
  2. Select the Primary Form from the drop-down list.
  3. Click Save Report to accept changes.

Using Add/Remove/Reorder Forms

  1. You can access the Add/Remove Forms feature in three ways:
    1. Click File > Add/Remove Forms.
    2. Click the (Add/Remove Forms) icon.
    3. Press Alt+F+F on the keyboard.
  2. To Add a form:
    1. Select a form in the Forms Pool.
    2. Click the (Add to pak) icon to add the form to the Current Report.
  3. To Remove a form:
    1. Select a form in the Current Report.
    2. Click the (Remove selection from pak) icon to remove the form from the Current Report and return it to the Forms Pool.
  4. To Reorder a form:
    1. Select a form in the Current Report.
    2. Click the (Move selection up) or (Move selection down) icons to reorder the form within the Current Report.
  5. Click Save Report to accept changes.

Note: In most cases, selecting a form from the Forms Pool and adding it to the Current Report removes the form from the Forms Pool. This feature prevents duplicate forms in a report. Other forms are designed for replication. Multiple copies of the Extra Photo or the Extra Map pages can be added to a report.

Unlocking a File for Editing

A report signed with an ACI digital signature is password-protected and cannot be alternated without removing the signature. A Padlock icon on the form denotes a password-protected file. Remove the signatures and unlock the file to allow report editing.
