# Layer Attributes Forms

These forms are used to enter the attribute values of an editable layer. Only one attribute entry form can exist per layer. The user must have the required permissions to modify the values of a layer’s attributes. Refer to the [Layer Permissions](/en2/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/layers/configuring-layers/layer-permissions.md) section for more information.

## Creating a layer attributes form

To create a form that will be used to enter a layer’s attributes, select **Forms** in the layer’s settings menu, then click on **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. Each component of the form must be associated with an attribute of the layer. 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 Designer](/en2/administrator/jmap-server-administrator-manual/layers/configuring-layers/forms.md#form-designer) section for more information.
