Edit Columns
Suppose you want to change the appearance of a form to make it more user-friendly. For instance, you may want to arrange form fields or texts side by side, display a field label above the field value, or assign alternative labels to columns.
Click the Edit Columns
button at the top of the form layout.
The Edit Columns
form will appear.
The options are described below:
- Label
- This column lists all form elements (columns, sections, texts). You can click on a column name to edit column properties. To edit a section name or text, you should return to the Form Layout and use the edit button.
- Type
- Specify the type of the element here.
- Label Above
- Check the checkbox if the column element label needs to be displayed above the column value. By default, a column element label and a column value are displayed side by side.
- Alternative Label
- Enter an alternative name for a column. By default, a column label is always the same as the column name. Use this field to change the default label.
- Width
- The width of a form row can be divided into a maximum of 4 columns:
- Width1
- Width2
- Width3
- Width4
This allows up to 4 elements to be placed side by side in the same row. Additionally, sections can be placed side by side, but the total number of column elements across all sections in a row cannot exceed 4 positions.
Using the Width
option, you can specify the number of positions a column element occupies in a row. To rearrange an entire section, adjust the width for the corresponding section.
When the Width
property is set to Width1, dates and numbers are aligned to the right for better readability. In all other cases, elements are aligned to the left on the form. These alignments are automatic and cannot be manually adjusted.
- Same Row
- All elements can be displayed in up to 4 columns. If this checkbox is selected, the form element (column or text) will be displayed to the right of other form elements. If the checkbox is unchecked, the element will be placed beneath the previous form element. If you want to rearrange an entire section, you can set the
Same Row
option for this section.
