2. Form Type Table

An alternative to stating the Form Type directly in 1= Merge with Overlay (refer to page 139) is to create a table which has all available form types listed.

Apart from having the forms listed in a well-arranged manner, the form types table gives the possibility of defining 3 copies with 3 different overlays for each page in the input spool entry.

Note that an AFC definition must be defined which lets the selection from the Forms type table take effect.

When selecting the menu point 2. Form Type Table from the Auto Forms Control administration menu the following screen will appear:
