To create responsive Forms, it is best practice to use a combo of view layouts and wrap settings rather than column layouts. This article will guide you through creating a best-practice version of a responsive form across all devices and screen sizes.

How to create a responsive form

  1. Drag in your Empty form from the Palette > Components > Form

  2. Then you'll need to drag in your view layouts to build out your desired structure
    (ensuring parent view layouts are set to Wrap and child view layouts are set to Grow if possible/Stretch - more on this further down...)

  3. Drag and drop your form inputs into the correct view layouts

  4. Customize the copy of the form input label and placeholder

  5. Adjust settings in the Toolbar > Components

  6. Ensure you're happy with the margins/padding and ready to launch!

With the first two rows of questions, you'll want to have:

  • A parent view layout set to Row content direction and set to Wrap (see screenshot below):

  • Two child view layouts inside the parent view layout set to Grow if possible and the form inputs set to Stretch horizontal alignment:

  • With the final two rows of questions, you'll want one view layout with the form input added in and set the child view layout behavior to Grow if possible:

With our final version of the form, you can see that the content sits nicely next to each other in the desktop view. You get the same experience in tablet view, just slightly condensed, and then on mobile view, the content stacks neatly on top of each other:
