Layout

After creating the fields, use the layout tool to adjust the size and position of the fields in the interface.

*Make sure you are in the (Field Config) tab before clicking the (Layout) button.

Accessing the layout tool

Each interface field is formed by two basic objects (Label and Field).

Objects (Label) have a dark gray background and are used to indicate the purpose of the field.

The objects (Field) identified by the white color are used to show the data.

Adjusting the size and position of an object

When a field is created, its size and position are automatically set to a default value. However, it is important to readjust the position and size of the fields on the screen for better viewing as shown in the following figure.

Hide Fields

The larger red rectangle in the figure below represents the useful area of the screen where the fields will be displayed. If any fields are positioned outside this area, they will not be displayed. If any field needs to be hidden, move it to the left side of the red line, so that field will not be displayed.
