DataAssist Update Design Preset

Can somone explain how to create or customize form design presets?
In attached picture it is mentioned you can do this using FormBuilder however if i choose a design which i saved from a previous custom made form with FormBuilder, nothing shows.

Did somebody already used this feature and can explain how it works.
Also i don't understand how a design preset in FormBuilder is translated to the insert,update,result,search pages created by DataAssist.

Does it involve some design guidelines in Formbuilder to create a design for DataAssist?

The manual does not help out in any way about this feature and if i choose pre-made designs then they do look different for pages created but again i want my own form design and look.

Any help is welcome to understand this feature.
Thanks.

You should be able to choose the custom form you created in form builder from that list and it would use that design.

I've opened a support incident so that we can share files and work with you over the phone to track down the issue and get it resolved.

Please update the incident with a phone number and good time to reach you and I'll give you a call to look into this issue.

Hi Ray,

I'm located in China but i will first send you the saved presets i made with FormBuilder tonight so you can try to see if you can use them.
Formbuilder created 3 presets for me: Groups, Content and Design.
In the Design page window the name of my presets showup, also the 3 themes within that preset show up, but for some reason the preview windows shows nothing or the design is not compatible. Again i still don't understand how a design preset from FormBuilder is translated to the form pages created by DataAssist.

In what timezone are you?

I'm in PST.

Since you can't export form themes currently because of a bug, please .zip up your /Configuration/Shared/Webassist/FormBuilder/FormDefinitions/Themes folder and attach that to your support incident.

I'll add your themes and test them to see why they aren't working and get it resolved and get back to you.

Hi Ray,

I already have the exported zip files for Formbuilder preset: content,groups and design.
I exported them before i installed DataBridge. Do you need them all or just the design preset zip file?

Just the theme designs. The others aren't used by the data assist wizard.

I attached the FormBuilder Design presets to the support ticket.

Let me know if you can re-produce it.

OK... I've been pretty busy today with all of the other issues reported. Believe it or not we have just about all of them fixed now, so hopefully I'll be looking into this one later tonight or tomorrow morning.

I'll let you know what I find. I'm hoping it will have already been resolved with some of the form design issues that were reported separately... I'll let you know. One way or another we'll get it fixed.

Hi Ray,

It is great to hear you and your team are able to resolve so many issues in such a short time, really the best support here that people can get! Thumbs up!

Take your time checking these issues, it is better to take more time and do things good the first time then spending short time and having to fix things over and over again.

I'm sure this is minor issue and will be resolved as well with the upcoming release.
Thanks.

Hi Ray,

In my support tickit i also send you CSS Sculptor preset. I made and exported this preset also before installing DataBridge but it does not import now in DataBridge. No error message is shown but it does not show up in the list.

Please try if it is a bug or the preset.
Thanks
