Hi,

I am new to Dynamics CRM. I design the fields horizontal in the form in one column

but they display vertically in the front end.

How to display them horizontally in the front end.

Hi partner,

This is because the section is set to one column. You should set the section to multiple columns.

As shown below, a section of the account form has only one column, so its fields are vertically aligned.

I open the Set Properties of this section and under the Formatting tab, change the number of columns to four columns. Then move the fields to the horizontal columns. They are arranged horizontally.

Hi partner,

Could you provide a screenshot of your current form and a screenshot of the form layout you want?

It would be great if you can share screenshots of both backend and front end

Hi partner,

This is designed to make the fields clear.

If your layout is too tight, D365 will show it in a clear way, for example, the front end of the form is displayed as 1 column, because the three columns are not suitable for reading.

When I reduce the browser's zoom, the form will display three columns.

So, if your form layout is too tight, only screens with a high resolution will display 3 columns correctly, otherwise only one column will be displayed.

I recommend that you place only one section in a tab, just like the form layout in my first answer, so that multiple columns can be displayed.

Because you’re using Unified interface, you’re seeing it like this. In classic UI it should have been fine.

The reason is, Unified Interface is a responsive design. For e.g. when you look at website on your mobile it looks different to the website on desktop.

Microsoft has done great investments for you to customise only one form while the design would adjust itself in mobile, tablet and desktop.

You can zoom in and out to see as per your needs.

Thanks Prashant,

The client requirement is to design in UI.

Requirement is 12 fields in one row., then below another 12 fields for a different criteria.

Is there no way to achieve this?

Thanks,

Alitia
