This section will describe how Islandora's forms and content models work together, and introduce the functions of the XML Form Builder modules. For additional information, including how to install the XML Form Builder modules, please see the XML Form Builder (Copy),  XML Forms (Copy), and  How to Edit/Create Ingest Forms (Copy).

This section assumes that you are either using the Virtual Machine image or http://sandbox.islandora.ca OR that you have followed instructions for installing and activating the XML Form Builder modules. Note that use of the Form Builder, particularly advanced use of the builder, will require a knowledge of XPath, and the schema that you are using (and the XSD that defines that schema). Additional information is presented later in this guide.
