Existing forms
This pane displays all spec forms that exist in Smart Instrumentation. By default, spec forms in the pane are sorted according to form number in ascending order. It is possible to sort forms by double-clicking one of the following column headers: Form Name, Multiple Tags Available, Custom, or Notes. Double-selecting a column header sorts the forms in ascending order. Double-selecting a column header again sorts the forms in descending order.
