# Layer Attributes Forms

These forms are used to enter the attribute values of an editable layer. 

{% hint style="info" %}
A layer can have only one attribute entry form.
{% endhint %}

 The user must have the required permissions to modify the values of a layer’s attributes. Refer to the [Layer Permissions](https://docs-jmapserver-lima.k2geospatial.com/e/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/resources-layers/configuring-layers/layer-permissions) section for more information.

## Creating a layer attributes form

To create a form for entering attributes for a layer, in the **Form** section of the **Forms** tab of the layer configuration interface, press **Create**.

Enter a name for the new form. You must then select the type of form to create, **Layer attributes**. Click on **Save**.

Afterwards, select **Form layout** in the settings menu to go to the form designer and add components.

{% hint style="info" %}
Each component of the form must be associated with an attribute of the layer. 
{% endhint %}

The component provides the attribute value, and the value is updated when the user closes the form and saves the changes. Refer to the [Form Layout](https://docs-jmapserver-lima.k2geospatial.com/e/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/resources-layers/configuring-layers/configuring-forms#form-layout) section for more information.
