About the "Create" field
The standard templates include a "Create" field that allows users to create new objects such as messages and documents. Users choose from a list of standard objects in this field.
You can add your new forms to this field, or replace the default contents of the field completely. The contents of the "Create" field are specified independently for messages and forms, with separate commands. This means that you can add or substitute message forms, for example, but leave the default document menu contents unchanged.
Adding your forms to the "Create" field
1 Add your forms to any lang.fc files.
2 Update the HeaderMatch document that is in the Internet Services folder.
To specify the message forms you want in the "Create" field, use the CUSTOMMESSAGES command, followed by the message form IDs, separated by semicolons. Message forms will appear in the dropdown menu in the order you list them here. Because this command overrides the default message forms in the field, only the message forms you specify will appear in the menu.
To specify the document forms you want in the "Create" field, use the CUSTOMFORMS command, followed by the document form IDs, separated by semicolons. Document forms will appear in the dropdown menu in the order you list them here, after any message forms. Because this command overrides the default document forms in the field, only the document forms you specify will appear in the menu.
Tip
To check the form IDs of the default forms, open them in the FirstClass client, then choose Help > About this Window. The number to the left in the help window's title bar is the form ID (for example, the standard message form ID is 141).
If you don't specify one of these commands, the default contents will be used for that type of form.
Note
You can use these commands to change the order in which forms appear in the menu. Remember that message forms will display before document forms.
For more information about the HeaderMatch document and VAR commands, including the order in which to add them when you are customizing multiple template sets, see the Internet Services help conference.
Example
The following example results in the "Create" field containing three of the standard message forms (141, 128, and 131) and a custom message form (1050), followed by two of the standard document forms (96 and 900) and a custom document form (2060):
*: VAR CUSTOMMESSAGES=141;128;131;1050
*: VAR CUSTOMFORMS=96;900;2060
