Forms View "Create your records whit à form"

TimeTonic's Form Creation view displays a streamlined form: your users only see the relevant fields, fill them out, and then validate.
When saved, a new record automatically appears in the table.
Ideal for collecting leave requests, expense reports, or purchases without complexity, TimeTonic's automations (validation emails, notifications, etc.) then take over.

Each form also generates a shareable link 🔗. Simply send it to allow everyone to enter their information clearly, in the layout you've chosen.

ℹ️ This option only allows the creation of new records.
👉 To edit existing records, use an External Form.

Note: To generate an external form link, you must now use the Form Creation view exclusively. The old Share Form option from Table, Kanban, etc. views has been removed; it remains available only for adjusting existing forms.

🟠 Custom CSS applies correctly in the creation form view. Note: the customization preview is only visible in the share link, not in the configuration interface.

"By Group"

ℹ️ The group configuration must be applied upstream in organizing the fields to allow the form to be viewed in step-by-step mode or in group mode.
ℹ️ The group color in the form is the one defined in your workspace settings.
ℹ️ Changing the group order in this configuration doesn’t affect the card view order.
