 The Forms Manager interface is comprised of three components.

|
 A Container Toolbar, for page manipulation and for navigating the report.

 A Container Portal where forms can be dropped, viewed or selected:

|
| To create an appraisal report, forms may be added to the container from the Forms Library via the Forms Manager by several methods, for example, by using drag-and-drop or with hot-key/mouse-click combinations.
|
|
|
| By default, pages are listed by name in the order that they were added, or most recently arranged when the report was last saved.
|
|

 When the Forms Manager is hidden (full-screen view) the file name will appear in the Application Title Bar.
