When a panel is created, the default number of columns is one. You can configure a panel to have multiple columns in a form. To configure a panel for multiple columns:
- In the Designer, select a panel within the form.
-
In the Properties pane, click the edit button next to the Columns property.
-
Select the number of columns you want the panel to contain from the drop-down list. You can configure the panel to have 1 to 10 columns. Upon selecting a number of columns, fields to configure the width of the columns is displayed.
-
Enter the percentage of the total width of the panel that you want each column to occupy in each column's field. The Total Width field automatically calculates the percentage of the panel that the columns occupy and must total less than or equal to 100 percent. A preview of your column configuration is displayed.
Note:
If you add additional columns after initially picking a smaller number of columns, the existing columns will maintain their configured width and the Total Width field may be over 100 until you modify the column widths to be in range.
- When you are done configuring the number and width of the columns in a panel, click OK.
