This is the documentation for ConfiForms Server/Data Center app

However, this might also work for ConfiForms cloud and in most cases it does. But please see this page to understand the differences between server and cloud versions of the ConfiForms app.

In this tutorial we will show you how to show a "joined view" of 2 forms. As a starting point we will take an old tutorial from confiforms.com, http://www.confiforms.com/cfweb/howto/forms-like-databases#content and will use the concept described in the cookbook, Smart classifiers and using complex properties

Error rendering macro 'excerpt-include'

No link could be created for 'Creating a simple form'.

We will use the same setup

One form with "authorsDB" with one text field (as in the tutorial above), but we will add 2 more fields to this form, to keep birthdate (birthDate of field type date) and picture of type file (to store image) 
And another form "bookshelf" with 3 fields, as in the original tutorial to store author's books. This form will have 2 text fields and one of  "smart classifier" which will reference author details from "authorsDB" form
