Question

Having 2 rows in a table instead of 1 long row

Forms Version 9

Updated August 24, 2021

asked on December 11, 2013

Have a table we're using that has multiple columns, and we need to use the table because we need to be able to use the "add" feature. With that being said..we'd like to be able to break the table down into 2 rows instead of one long row (I've attached screenshot of my table). Is this possible..if so, how?

Thanks!

If you need the "Add" feature, have you considered using a repeatable collection of fields instead? That might end up being a better option for you,and if you wanted to hide fields based on selections, that would look cleaner, too.

To use a collection, drag one onto the canvas on the Edit page of the Form Designer, then drag fields into the collection. You can edit the collection, make it repeatable, and specify the number of times it can be repeated. Using a repeatable collection instead of a table will make it easier to change the field layout.

As for displaying fields side-by-side, you'll need to use a little bit of CSS. Check out the Displaying fields side by side section of this help page for some specific code to try.

I would use a collection to have the repeatable functionality you want.

To get the idea of a two line table, just use some CSS to format the contained fields to create the two rows

The problem with this is if you need to use a Lookup Rule to populate the table/collection with a large number of values. Filling a collection with a large number of rows causes the query to crash and stall. Filling a table with the same number of rows works fine.
