  2. Click OK. The form is generated, the Form Settings dialog box is closed, and an information message appears.

  4. Design the form, and then click the Close button. The form is saved and the Forms Designer page is closed.

    Note:
    - The auto generated form is saved, with the same name as that of the list, in the Dynamic List Forms folder in the Forms page.
    - The form associated with the list must be published before using the list. Otherwise, you will not be able to add or edit list items.
    - List Forms should not be associated to workflows.
    - If an existing custom table from the repository is deleted, the table name still appears in CustomList table List Box because the  Refresh button is not working.
    - For information about using lists, see Lists.
