In this guide, you will learn how to create forms with Jigx. Forms are mainly used to collect and update data for various data sources.

We will use Dynamic Data to store the data. If you want to learn more about Dynamic Data and its capabilities, check out this guide: [Dynamic Data](/building-apps-with-jigx/data/data-providers/dynamic-data.md)

{% hint style="success" %}
As we will use Dynamic Data for storing the data in this guide, please read the section below about *Defining a Dynamic Data table* before proceeding to the next part.
{% endhint %}
{% endcolumn %}
{% endcolumns %}

## Defining a Dynamic Data table

Before we can start creating records in Dynamic Data, our table has to be defined in the solution:

1. In your solution, go to the *default.jigx* file in the *databases* folder and add the following YAML:

{% code title="databases/default.jigx" %}

```yaml
tables:
  form: null
```

{% endcode %}

The next time when you will publish your solution to Jigx, it will create a table in Dynamic Data for your solution. You can always log in to the [Jigx Management](https://manage.jigx.com/) and navigate to the *Data* area of your solution to check the tables and contents. We will use this table in this guide for storing the form data.

Now you can proceed to the next part, [Creating a Record](/building-apps-with-jigx/ui/jigs-_screens_/forms/creating-a-record.md) to get familiar with forms.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.jigx.com/building-apps-with-jigx/ui/jigs-_screens_/forms.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
