Add New

For instance if a form is selected, this should add a new form, if a question is selected, this should add a new question, if a page is selected, this should add a new page. If there is no form in the forms panel, this should add a new form, page, and one question. Adding new items is only useful when you launch the form designer from the Administration screen and then select the Xforms Designer link. Otherwise if you want to add a new item to the form, add it on the OpenMRS Form Schema page and then launch the form in the designer where you will refresh it.

Add New Child

Adds a new item which is a child of the selected item. If there is no form in the forms panel, or if the selected item should have no children (e.g text question) then this does the same as Add New. A form's child is a page, a page's child is a question, a single select, multiple select question has children which are options. A repeat question has children which are questions.
