Embedded vs Standalone Comparison (Custom Form)

Embedded vs Standalone Comparison (Custom Form)

Since version 9.0

The Custom Form can be:

  • Either embedded into another document (Quote, standalone Custom Form).

  • Or act as a standalone document, with its own list page and detail page.

Here’s the comparison of features provided by the two variants:

Feature

"Embedded" Form

"Standalone" Form

Feature

"Embedded" Form

"Standalone" Form

Menu item to access the list of form instances

-

Its own configured menu item

List Page

No, they’re managed from inside the parent object’s detail pages.

Yes, accessible via its own menu item.

Layout

Not supported, only a single page with inputs, outputs.

It can have multiple sections with multiple tabs, where one of them is the page with inputs/outputs.

Custom Header

Yes (but likely not reasonable to use, when the parent doc has its Custom header too)

Yes

Approval Workflow

No

Yes

Field CustomForm.parentTypedId

Refers to the document/object, into which it is embedded.

Not used
