6. Forms Interface

This is a method of enabling you to interact with an application.

The form normally provides limited choices as to the use.

For example, a form interface for setting text characteristics in application software might offer the choices of selecting font size, colour, style.

A form interface which will allow you to interact with the system software might offer choices such as selecting your screen resolution, default language, keyboard style etc.

A form interface can also be used to enter data into a system, for example a database system will usually allow you to create a form to enter data into tables.
