Designing Sections

When designing the sections of your form, determine the number of sections needed. Small or simple forms may contain only a few sections. Complex forms, such as forms with schedules, need a bit more design time, as they may include more sections, including sections that repeat.

Identify any recurring sections. This is common with tax forms that allow multiple occurrences of a schedule. For each recurring section, determine whether or not recurrence should be limited to a finite number.

CAUTION:
Although the configuration allows for unlimited recurring sections, the HTML rendering for the user interface is unable to handle a large number of sections and lines. Be careful in using forms to capture data that results in a large number of sections and lines. Such forms need to be fully tested with expected volumes, to ensure that the forms are able to handle your business need.
