    Hi,

    Is there a way to display the Input Form by default instead of the List View? I want my users to be able to enter a new record when they login instead of having to load the list and click on the ‘+’ icon. I can’t find a config in the App Builder but I suspect I might be able to add CSS or javascript?

    Also, I haven’t seen much documentation on advanced look & feel customization of the Forms so I also suspect CSS can be used no problem, BUT I was wondering – is it (or should it) be possible to create a WP Forms table/form and then import that into WP Data Access builder? This would give the ability to quickly produce nice input forms and then WPDA handles the Administration stuff..

    Thank you in advance.

    Hi @bfitz70,

    You can create a Registration Form app type if the goal is to add new records.

    The App Builder is very forgiving with regards to manual styling. 😊 We have an overview here: Manual Styling | WP Data Access

    BUT I was wondering – is it (or should it) be possible to create a WP Forms table/form and then import that into WP Data Access builder?

    The App Builder apps are tied to a data source, usually a table or view, so if your form entries are seamlessly inserted to a table in your database, you shouldn’t have any issues with using that table as a table source for your app.

    We hope that helps! Let us know if you have other questions.
