New Layout Options in the Form Builder

In the form builder, a section is the basic layout tool. It allows you to group related questions (short for input field and label) and display them in a specific way. For instance, a section of type ‘fieldset’ shows a border around its content.

Version 2.3 of the builder introduces two new types of sections: inline and table row. They allow you to alter the default ‘one field per line’ layout.

All the questions (fields+labels) placed inside an inline section are displayed on the same line.

Inline Layout

Inside a table row section, fields appear in their own cell. Labels are shown in the column header and they are not repeated if you have more than one row. The title for the row (left-most column) is the name given to the table-row section.

Table Layout

Duplicate section link

To quickly add rows to your table, copy your first table-row section using the ‘duplicate section’ link (in the section properties panel).

Here are a couple of examples preloaded in the Form Builder:
