A Database Form is a window with information fields that help gather information to be stored in a database or trigger a process. All relational database systems worth their salt like Microsoft Access, HyperBase, Airtable etc include the ability to create and customize database forms.
A good database form creator will give you the following capabilities:
- The ability to gather information via web and mobile browsers
- The ability to customize the look and feel of the form
