Edit Sections
In case you need to rename a section or place some sections in the same row, click the Edit Sections button at the top of the form layout.
The Edit Sections form will appear.
The options are described below:
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
| Label | In the Label column all sections of the form are listed. You can edit a section label, if you want to rename a section. |
| Width | The width of each form row can be divided into 4 columns maximum. It means that you can place up to 4 elements side by side in the same row. Moreover, you can place sections side by side but the total number of elements can’t exceed 4 places. Using the Width option you can indicate the number of places filled by a section in a row. The width of columns comprised in this section will not exceed the specified section width. If the Auto option is selected, the section width will be the same as the maximum width of the column included to this section. |
| Same Row | If the Same Row checkbox is selected, the section and all elements comprised in it will be displayed to the right of other section. Please remember that the width of the form row can be divided into 4 places maximum. It means that you can place up to four elements side by side in the same row. Also be sure that the section width is set properly. |
To group elements in a new section, you need to reorder them: place the Section element before the fields of a new section.
Also each section can be Visible, Collapsed, Expanded or Hidden on the form in the View or Edit mode. To apply one of these option, adjust the form behavior for each section.
