When building a form, each section you create can be set to either a single column or grid layout.
Column stacks widgets one after another — straightforward and suitable for all widget types. Grid places widgets side by side (like a table), giving you a more compact, structured format that suits certain data types. The layout you choose for each section is reflected directly in the final PDF output, so you can present your data exactly how you need it.
Choosing Layout
Go to Forms and open an existing form or start a new one.
Click the pen icon on the section header you want to configure.
Select either Column or Grid from the dropdown.
Column Layout
Widgets are stacked one after another in a single column. This is the default layout and works well for all widget types.
Grid Layout
Widgets are displayed side by side, allowing you to pack more into a section and create a cleaner, more structured layout.
Grid works well with:
Single line of text
Number
Date & time
Date
Basic Yes/No and R/A/G fields (without comments or images)
Note: Multi-line text fields can be used in a grid, but large amounts of text will display poorly — use sparingly.
Grid does not work well with:
Photo or image widgets
Any Regarding fields
Yes/No or R/A/G fields that include comments or images
Signatures
For any of the above, keep them in a column section.
💡 Tips
Mix and match layouts within the same form - use grid sections for compact data fields and column sections for anything that needs more space.
If a grid section looks cluttered or misaligned, check whether any incompatible widgets have been added and move them to a column section.
Stick to short, single-line inputs in grid sections for the cleanest result.
