Layout

This module lets you editing display options for the application. You can apply visualization themes, organize blocks, define values, and the display format of the Header and Footer.

Pages

A page is a container of blocks. Each application has at least one page by default. In Form, Control, and Search applications, there is possible to create many pages. The pages are like Tabs, where each tab contains one or more blocks.

The pages can be shown as Tabs or in form of a Form Wizard. In the option below you can select the type of your Page Layout.

Form Application using Pages feature.

Pages Settings

The form application already comes with a default page, identified as “Pag1”, but it is possible to rename it. Use the pages when you have an application that contains many fields. A form with more than 20 fields in a vertical way is challenging to use. So you could arrange the fields into the blocks and the blocks into the pages.
