your keywords should be TCA, flexforms and input-wizard.

TCA (Table Configuration Array) = here you define the datastructure and 
the inputform including verification and input-wizards

flexforms enable variable input, so you can switch different 
form-layouts (different fields) with TCA

input-wizards enable individual input, e.g. a selection on values from 
'outside'. (classic wizards: RTE, Fileselection, Linkwizard, ...)
