About Blocks on Forms

A block is a container that holds a related group of objects, such as text items, Lists, and buttons.

Blocks do not have a physical representation—only the items contained in a block are visible in the application interface. However, like other objects, blocks have properties, and can be created, copied, and modified.

Blocks provide a mechanism for grouping related items into a functional unit for storing, displaying, and manipulating records. Just as tables in the database consist of related columns and rows, blocks contain related items that display data.

There is no practical limit to the number of blocks that can be defined in a form. A block is a logical grouping only; the items in a block can be placed on different canvases and can be displayed in different windows.
