The common model for interface forms is to use display-only forms to manage the creation of records and relationships, and to use join forms to manage queries and modify actions. In addition to the interface forms, web services are provided for most of the applications. The web services interfaces are a layer on top of the interface forms, and provide basic define, modify, and query capability to the applications and modules. This section provides the following information:    

• Descriptions of inputs and outputs for the interface form
• Descriptions of the web services inputs and outputs, which provide a real working example of how to use the interface forms
