Hi Nidhi,

For instance, in nms:deliveryDet form definition, you can find this reference used:

ref="nms:delivery:lib/summary"

It follows the XPATH syntax after the space name:form name.

and so, you can find the XML code definition in the nms:delivery form definition:

<container img="nms:delivery.png" label="Résumé" name="summary">

which is defined for:

  <container name="lib" type="visibleGroup" visibleIf="false">

In your case you should find a "file" / line in Input form list adi:delivery, and look for delivery container definition.

Hope this helps.

Regards.

Hi Jean-Serge Biron​,

Thanks Much!

I am able to do the customization of form in order to avoid mishappening with our already existing template having some additional field. We are creating new customize form and providing our reference in nms:delivery form.
