RTC Page. Fields in one row

Hello guys,

maybe someone tried to create more than two editible fields in one row (more than two columns) on the card page ? I've tried I guess everything... Grouping works fine when you need two columns of the fields, but here I need more... I have Tried to do groups under the other groups, got same result. FixedLayout grouping makes fields uneditible...

Maybe you have some suggestions or RTC experience on this case ?

    Look at the standard Sales Order Page, Fast tab "General".

    AFAIK you cannot control this. Rendering is done automatically.
    However you can control the column break a little bit by using Groups.

    Two columns are the current limit. This is all decided by the client and thus there is no way to influence that. For v7 it will be possible to use the Grouping concept to control this much more freely.

    Hello.
    I'm interested on the 3 columns subject but also on 2 columns solution. I deed not succeed to have to columns on my pages, I always have only one column. How are you doing to have two?

    Regards.

    in a page type Card. insert fields in a Group (subtype Group) and system will place them in 2 columns.
    for what concerns 3 columns the only way is to use fixed layout but fields won't be editable.

    It is a report request page. It perhaps the reason why Nav doesn't place fields in two columns.

    Here is Page Designer definition :
    Name Caption Type SubType SourceExpr
    <Control1900000001> <Control1900000001> Container ContentArea
    groupgeneral <groupgeneral> Group Group
    <Control1900000002> Options Group Group
    <Control1> Date début Field StartDate
    <Control1000000000> Date début test Field StartDate
    newcontrol <newcontrol> Field StartDate

    (this is the same field, it is just a test to understand how to have 2 columns).

    Attached is the screenshot of the result.

    Regards.

    :-k i've never seen a request page with fields in 2 columns... I think there's no way to do it...
