   • Click the Select Data Form link.

     

   • In the Data Form dialog box, navigate to the desired form, select the form, and then click OK.

     

     The form you selected is displayed on the Trace page.

   Note that the point of view you select overrides the fields selected in the data form definition. (See Designing Data Forms for Trace).
