Community Form Page

Introduction

As of the 2019-R1 release, Standard style forms can be displayed in Lightning Communities as Stand Alone Forms. This allows you to provide your users with any forms you want them to fill out directly from the Lightning Community.

Create a Lightning Form URL

When you've created a Standard style form you want to make available in your Lightning Community, you will need to compile a URL to apply the Lightning Form to your Community. You will also need to create this URL in order to preview and test any Dependent Picklists you've included in your Lightning Form.

2. Enter All Communities in the Quick Find field.
3. Select All Communities from the options generated. The All Communities page will launch.
