### Forms

The best way to enter detailed information about tasks and resources is to use forms. Forms are composed of editable areas called fields. You can click or tab to a field and enter just the information that is relevant to that field. For example, the Task Form view includes fields for entering a task’s name, duration, and start and finish dates, and also who or what is assigned to the task.

Typically, you use a form in conjunction with another view. The form, then, serves a support role. It is a means of entering task and resource information. Often, a form view appears in the bottom pane of your Microsoft Project window, while another view appears in the top pane.
