Region Layout

You can customize the regions that surround your form. You can add custom text, links and graphics and you can specify whether you want a router region to appear which maps workflow data fields to the region. If you choose to configure custom regions, you can enter a path to a server-side script or source file which contains custom router settings. You can set the router to display above or below the form.

NOTE  Each time you select multiple steps to edit, custom settings in the selected steps are lost. Ensure you complete all multi-select actions before you set unique step options. Once you enter custom settings for a step, including: buttons, pages, attachments or regions, do not select this step in a mult-select action or the custom settings will be lost.
