Creator Studio allows you to configure and edit the settings for an app's form at any time, including access permissions and appearance.

## General form settings

On the General tab, you define the form's basic details and appearance:

* **Form name:** Name your form; apps can have multiple forms selectable from the navigation panel.
* **Short description:** Provide a brief explanation of the form's purpose (e.g., "Laptop request form").
* **Image:** Upload a JPG, PNG, or SVG image (like a logo) to display on the form.
* **Description:** Add detailed information including multimedia and links to help users understand why to use the form.
* **Visibility:** Choose to make the form accessible outside the app (such as in catalogs) once published. Visibility can also be controlled at deployment.
* **Attachment options:** You can hide the attachment feature, make attachments mandatory, or allow attachments on the form. Note that if attachments are hidden, they cannot be mandatory.
* **Wish list option:** Optionally disable the ability for users to favorite the form.

**Important:** After creating the app, the template used for the form cannot be changed. To use a different template, create a new form accordingly.

## Catalog location form settings

These settings determine where the form appears within catalogs and how it is categorized:

* Select catalogs representing business areas relevant to your app (e.g., IT service catalogs).
* Expand catalogs to choose sub-catalogs as needed.
* Associate forms with one or more topics to enable dynamic display in Employee Center topic pages.

This categorization helps users find forms easily based on business areas and topics.

## User access form settings

Use the edit icon to specify role and group-based access:

* **Available for:** Define which roles and groups can access the form.
* **Not available for:** Define roles and groups that are restricted from accessing the form.

This granular access control ensures that only authorized users can view or submit the form.  
You can edit the settings for an app's form in Creator Studio at any time. For example, to change who can access it.
