    • If you have not created any forms, the system displays the following in the center of the screen:

      create form

    • If you have already created one or more forms, the system displays a list of all created forms and the following button in the toolbar of Forms page:

      create form button

      NOTE: If you are working in multilingual mode, before creating a form, you must first choose the language in which you want to create the form. Select the language from Languages dropdown box in the right of the page.

    • For more information about different languages, see Administration: Language settings.
