# Configure the form view for CWM tasks and connected work items

Configure which fields appear when you open a CWM task or connected work item by customizing the default form view for the relevant table.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

CWM displays fields from the default view of a table's record form in the task side panel for CWM tasks and connected work items. For stories, CWM uses the CWM view of the form instead of the default view.

## Procedure

1.  Navigate to the list view of the table whose form you want to configure.

    For example, navigate to `incident.list` for the Incident table, `sn_cwm_task.list` for CWM tasks, or `rm_story.list` for stories.

2.  Open any record in the table.

3.  Right-click the form to open the form context menu, and select **View** > **Default view**.

    For stories \(`rm_story`\), select **View** > **CWM view** instead.

4.  Configure the form using Form Builder.

    For instances without Form Builder, use Form Design or Form Layout instead. For more information, see .

5.  Add or remove the fields you want to display, and save your changes.


## Result

The updated fields appear in the task side panel when you open tasks or connected work items from CWM Boards.
