Welcome reader, this is the second in a series of articles exploring rarely used (or in this case newer) functionality in Smart View. Currently we will be exploring Smart Forms. Oracle added in “Save As Smart Form” functionality to Smart View for PBCS in 2016, but I have not seen it used in practice in any implementations yet, so I feel that it is worth exploring.

So, what are Smart Forms? Smart Forms are essentially ad hoc grids saved up to the cloud with a twist: they can carry *some* native excel calculations. This can be extremely useful for users that do not want to learn the frankly clunky form formula syntax, but would like to create simple views into their data that can be shared with other users and are “repeatable”.
