Understanding the Grid

All form fields are organized into a form grid, which consists of rows and cells. Each row contains a fixed number of cells, determined by the “Cells per row” setting. The grid ensures consistent layout and alignment for all form fields.

Form Builder Grid

Each form field can occupy from 1 to n cells, where n is the number of cells per row. This value can be adjusted on a per-column basis in Grid positioning. To access the grid position for a specific column, open the COLUMNS section, navigate to the column, and select the Grid positioning option. 

Form Builder - Grid Positioning - Grid cells used

Grid positioning allows you to adjust the display of empty cells before a field or position a field at the beginning or end of a row.

Padding #

You can adjust the padding of the form grid against the form container. The default value is at 50px on all sides.

Notes: #

The grid can be displayed during form design to visualize column positioning and spacing. This feature is available only in the Form Builder and is not visible during runtime.
