How to Add Multiple Forms to One Open Card

Multiple forms on one open card let you split a record across side panels — general information in one, cost centre detail in another, approval buttons in a third — each with its own fields and rules.

Why one long form is the wrong shape for review

Capturing data and reviewing it are different tasks, and a single scrolling form serves neither well.

Approvers scrolling past irrelevant fields to reach the decision
Editable fields exposed to people who should only read them
No visual separation between context and action
Everything collapsing into one wall of inputs

How to divide a record across panels

Panel one — the core information about the record
Panel two — supporting detail, such as cost centre and company
Panel three — the action area, with approval buttons
Any panel can be set read-only, or grouped and organized independently

How to configure it in Jestor

Open the Super Form editor in Jestor.
In the form toolbar, choose the Super Form option to create an additional form.
Build the new form with the fields that belong in that panel.
Give it its own background colour so panels are visually distinct.
Set it read-only where the panel is for reference rather than input.

Why choose Jestor for card layout?

All Super Form capabilities carry into the open card in Jestor — conditionals, permissions, blocks, grouping, and styling. A panel can hide itself after approval, or switch to read-only once a decision is made.

The panels are independent, so each can have its own editing rules. Reference data stays reference data even while the action panel is live.
