Hi,
Edit form
You use this form to create or change individual documents (for example, single news items). Typically, this form contains input fields in which you can create content (for example, the title or text for a news item).
Show form
You use this form to display a single document. Typically, the Show form displays all elements of a document (for example, the title, author, and all the text contained in a news item). Do not use entry controls on the Show form.
RenderListItem form
You use this form to define the layout of a list entry in a folder in the flexible user interface. Typically, you display some of the elements of a document, such as the title and summary of a news item, on this form. You call up the Show form if you want to display the entire document.
You do not create pushbuttons or links for creating, changing, or deleting XML documents in the RenderListItem form. You define which commands are to be displayed using command groups of the flexible user interface. You can create several iViews for displaying the same XML documents with different command groups.
ListEdit form
You use this form to change a list of documents. Typically, this form contains pushbuttons for creating, changing, and deleting entries. You call up the Edit form if you want to change or create content. You call up the Show form if you want to display all entries.
  ListShow form
You use this form to display a list of documents. Typically, this form only displays part of a document element (for example, the title of a news item). You call up the Show form if you want to display the entire document.
