=== Form designer ===
The user interface of the form designer is divided into three panes:
* '''Properties''' pane (left) shows properties of the items selected on the Designer pane.
* '''Designer''' pane (center) shows a mockup of the form that you are designing.
* '''Fields''' pane (right) lists the entity fields that you can add to the form.
* Additionally, important functions are available in the '''toolbar''' (top).
=== Properties pane ===
The following properties can be configured on the '''Tab''' level:
* Name - Label of the tab
* Side – When using the flexible forms, you can place the tab item to the left or right side of the form when viewing the form in full screen.
* Header – When using the flexible forms, you can set what to display as the form header.
** Hidden – Header is hidden and only records are shown (no plus, or flip to button is shown as well).
** Icon & label – Whole header, including the icon and name will be shown.
** Label – Only the tab name is shown.
* Width – Normal represents the ordinary size of one tab, Large means that the tab will take size of two tabs.

Additional settings for '''Auto Grid''' (display multiple fields in one row):
* Max Columns – How many fields should be displayed in one row. This is the maximum value, the row may show fewer fields, depending on available space.

Additional settings for '''lists''':
* Orientation – Only available for list items and defines whether records are aligned horizontally or vertically. Scrolling also follows this option
