To get started building a custom form using PloneFormGen, you must first create a Form Folder. A form folder is a lot like a normal Plone folder - you use it to organize and hold other types of content. The Form Folder also has some settings of its own that will control the behavior and appearance of the form.

Click Add Item (or Add to Folder) and choose Form Folder from the drop-down menu. You'll see a screen like the one to the right.

Create the Form

Provide a Title and Description for the form. You can also change the wording of the Submit or Reset button if you wish.

Ignore the rest of this edit screen for the time being and just click Save at the bottom. We'll return to the other options on this screen just ahead in this tutorial.
