Customizing the master layout to our usability is one of the most significant advantages in Apptivo. The table sections can now be converted to form sections. The modifications can either be made for viewing or editing the objects. Let’s go through the steps to make the feature handier. The Form Layout feature is available in all Apptivo Apps.

For Instance: Let us consider the Orders App. You will have the Products/Items listed in the line level. If you want to view or create them as forms instead of tables, then take a look through the below steps.

Steps to convert the “Table” Sections to “Form” Sections:


Settings


  • Choose “Master Layout” from the “Customize App” dropdown.

    • View/Edit Layout - Select the layout in which you want to view/edit the order.
    • Conditional - Specify the condition on which the Form should be visible.
    • # of rows - Default number rows available in the line level.
