NOTE
The Android and iOS versions of the AEM Forms app have been discontinued. The Android app was unpublished from Google Play in September 2026, and the iOS app has been removed from the Apple App Store.
These apps are no longer available for installation. For assistance with the Android app, contact aemformsapp-android@adobe.com.

You can customize the HTML code and CSS file to provide a distinct organization-specific look and feel to AEM Forms app. For example, you can change the background color and height of tasks or Startpoints. The following example provides instructions to change:

  • display instructions in place of the description
  • number of display routes
  • background gradient color

Steps steps

  1. Open your project.

    • For iOS, open Capture.xcodeproj in Xcode
    • For Android, open the Android project in Eclipse.
    • For Windows, open MWSWindows.sln in Visual Studio.

  2. Navigate to the templates folder.

    • In Xcode, navigate to the Capture > www > wsmobile > js > runtime > templates folder.

  3. Open the template.html file for editing.

    code language-jsp 
    <%if ( (task.description !== "") && (task.description !== null) && (typeof task.description !== null) && (typeof task.description !== 'undefined') ) {%>
               <div class="description_details">
                 <%= task.description %>
               </div>
              <%} else

    Replace it with <%.

  5. Locate the following code in the template.html file:

    code language-jsp 
    <ul id="task_menu_list">
                                <li class="approve" title="<%= task.availableCommands.directCommands[0]%>" data-routename="<%= task.availableCommands.directCommands[0]%>">
                                    <%= task.availableCommands.directCommands[0]%>
                                </li>
                                <li class="reject last" title="<%= task.availableCommands.directCommands[1]%>" data-routename="<%= task.availableCommands.directCommands[1]%>">
                                    <%= task.availableCommands.directCommands[1]%>
                                </li>
