Business Forms

Enterprise software systems have rich user interfaces with need to provide user interaction on large amount of data. The nature of business data for a large system is often complex that contains lot of information and relationships.

There are many such core entities with sub entities in a big system. Usually the user interface for complex data entities is developed by software developers by writing code which takes longer time and further any future changes require more code changes.
