  1. Place the .CSS file into the form viewer's base directory (by default, C:\GlobalForms\client\dist\view).  If a customer already has CSS available on an accessible web server, you can also reference that live style sheet versus referencing a copy of it, but we would encourage working with a local version of any CSS files.

  2. Add an HTML component to the top of your Form.  You will need to alter some of the default settings for this component when the settings dialog opens.

  3. Set the HTML Tag property to "link".

  4. Add a new Attribute with Attribute Name "rel" and Value "stylesheet".

  5. Add a new Attribute Name "type" and Value "text/css".

  6. Add a new Attribute Name "href" and Value "./mystyles.css" where "mystyles" represents your CSS file's name.

    The Component properties should be similar to the values in the image below:

By placing the CSS in the viewer's base directory, the styles will only be applied to forms loaded for viewing / completion by end users.  The form designer will not display the styles.  This is the best practice when working with custom styles on a form.  Applying custom styles in the designer can impact your ability to work effectively with components in design mode and is discouraged.
