re: what is the best way to mODIFY A TEMPLATE to set up field templates cmap so the fields/data is displayed where i want it.
You need to edit both the card.php and card-single.php files. Please see this QuickTip on the recommended way to make changes so they are update safe.

re: what are the steps for creating a application form…
Connections is not and does not have a form builder. The closest extension available is the Form extension. Form is designed to be plug and play with minimal configuration … it is not a form building plugin.

re: setting field template (ie phone# ( )
Sorry, I do not understand … you’re going to have to be a little more descriptive.

re: can you make a drop down menue ie (Type of RCH: (1) Residential Care Home
(2) HIC Home
Yes, but only if you create those as categories and then use a template like cMap.

re: can you make check box (ie Endorsements: Mental Illness_ Dementia_ Chronic Illness _ Other __ (if select other allow them to type in free text) this allow them to choose 1 or 2 or all the items.. (controls how data is input)
Yes, custom fields can be added, but you will need a dev to add them as there is not yet a point and click methods available to create custom fields.

re: How do you insert UPLOAD FILE/PHOTO/VIDEO) FIELD THEN (LIMIT THEY TYPES IE JPEG, PNG OR FOR VIDEO, MP4 AND LIMIT THE SIZE ALSO.
Connections only support the adding of one photo and one logo. The file size and file type are already limited to valid image types of jpg and png. How to upload, when adding an entry, click the choose button in either the image or logo fields, select your desired image. When you save the entry, the image will be uploaded.

re: is there a listing for all shortcodes for all the standard field & how do we get a short code for New Fields) i have a few ie Type of RCH, Endorsments, Waivers,
Yes, there is a list of standard shortcode option. The list can be found on this doc page. Additionally, all the premium template support an additional 40–60+ shortcode options. This options can be found under the template production page in the main nav titled as “Customization Options”.

As mention in an answer in a previous question, custom fields will have to be added by a dev.
