Managing Layout in Smartform
Smartform allows you to arrange and customize your layout with drag-and-drop functionality and a right-click menu for quick actions. You can move elements, rows, and columns to organize your form efficiently.
Moving Elements, Rows, and Columns
You can reposition elements, rows, and columns by dragging them into place.
How to Move an Element
-
Click and hold an element, row, column, or section.

Four drag handles will appear:
-
Row Handle – Moves entire rows.
-
Column Handle – Moves individual columns.
-
Element Handle – Moves a single element.
-
Section Handle – Moves an entire section up or down.
-
-
Drag the handle to the desired location and release.
This feature gives you full control over the layout and positioning of elements in your Smartform.
Using the Right-Click Menu
Right-clicking on an element opens a context menu with quick actions:
- Add – Insert a new element at this position.
- Undo – Revert the last change.
- Properties – Adjust settings for an element, row, or column.
- Duplicate – Create an exact copy of the selected item.
- Remove – Delete an element, row, or column from the Smartform.
How to Use the Right-Click Menu
- Right-click on any element to open the menu.
- Select the desired action from the list.
- The changes will apply instantly.
This menu makes it quick and easy to manage and customize your Smartform.
Using the Section Options Menu
Clicking the three-dot menu ••• (next to the section handle) opens the Section Options Menu, which includes:
- Properties – Adjust settings specific to this section.
- Export Section – Save this section as a reusable template.
- Delete Section – Remove the section and all its elements.
- Duplicate Section – Create an exact copy of the section, including all elements inside it.
- Move Up – Shift the section higher in the form.
- Move Down – Shift the section lower in the form.
These options give you full control over section organization, allowing you to customize and reuse sections efficiently.
Tips: Build Smartforms Faster with Duplication
To save time and maintain a consistent design, first set up your layout with the desired style, formatting, and structure. Once you’re satisfied, use the Duplicate option to quickly expand your Smartform by copying:
- Elements – Copy individual form components while keeping their properties.
- Columns – Duplicate an entire column to maintain alignment and structure.
- Rows – Replicate a full row with multiple elements inside.
- Sections – Duplicate larger form sections to keep consistency across different parts of your Smartform.
This approach ensures a clean, organized layout and speeds up the form-building process. 🚀
