A dynamic form is a form created by the dfe (dynamic form editor). A dynamic form (as opposed to static forms) does not position the fields in an absolute sense, but in a relative way: Fields have relations with other fields.
In the DFE you position a field as either
- behind another field or
-below another field
Besides this, fields can be grouped in a group box.
At definition time, there are no forms. Only at runtime, the fields (groups) are spread of the forms.
Advantages of dynamic forms are:
When a field is removed from the form (either development time or runtime), the other fields are shifted.
Labels are related to fields, so when a field is made invisible, the label is made invisible too.
Dynamic Forms also opened up the way for combined forms: one definition for multiple appearances: it can be displayed as details session (single-occ), overview session (multi-occ) or combination of these (type 3).
I hope this is clear to you. A dynamic form can still be displayed as a multi-occ session. So I think you should rephrase your question, because dynamic is not the opposite of multi-occ.
