Explorer: Forms Tab v5.0 ​

The Forms tab in the Explorer lists all your form definitions. Click any form's name to open it in its editor — the visual Form Builder or the Custom Form Editor for custom forms.

The Forms tab

Type in the search box to instantly filter the list by name. The count below updates to show how many forms match (e.g., "Showing 2 of 8").

Filters ​

The Forms tab has three filter groups, each with toggle buttons:

Scope ​

Filter by where the form is stored:

  • Portal — Forms belonging to the current DNN portal
  • Global — Forms shared across all portals
  • Both — Show all

Type ​

Filter by how the form was created:

Usage ​

Filter by whether the form is assigned to a module on a page:

  • In-Use — Forms currently assigned to a module
  • Unused — Forms not assigned to any module
  • Both — Show all

You can collapse the Filters section by clicking its heading.

Sorting ​

A dropdown below the filters lets you sort the list:

  • Name (A–Z) — Alphabetical order (default)
  • Modified (Newest) — Most recently edited first
  • Created (Newest) — Most recently created first

Form Icons ​

Forms created with the Form Builder show a different icon than custom (hand-coded) forms, making it easy to tell them apart at a glance.

In-Use Indicator ​

Forms that are currently assigned to a module on a page show a small green dot next to their name.

A green dot indicates the resource is in use

Actions Menu ​

Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on any form to see the available actions:

  • Open — Open the form in its editor
  • Pin / Unpin — Pin the form to the top of the list for quick access. Pins persist across sessions.
  • Rename — Change the form's name. If the form is in use, XMod Pro shows you where it's referenced so you're aware of the impact.
  • Duplicate — Create a copy of the form with a new name
  • Add to Project — Add the form to one or more projects
  • View Usage — See which modules and pages reference this form. You can click through to open any listed page directly.
  • Revert to Original — Restore a Form Builder form to its original generated state. This only appears on Builder forms that have been modified.
  • Delete — Permanently remove the form. If the form is assigned to a module, XMod Pro blocks the deletion and tells you where it's in use.
