In Model Apps, it’s extremely easy to set out the fields on the form as you wish to. It’s a simple case of drag and drop.
However when looking at Canvas Apps, it’s not so straightforward (at least not initially!).
When adding a form to the app, you can then select which fields you’d like to appear (assuming you’ve connected it to a data source with fields, eg a CDS entity). These then show up, but aren’t always in the order that you’re wanting them to.
You can’t drag and drop the fields on the form itself – the interface doesn’t allow you to! So how exactly is this done then?
It’s actually done on the field selector slide out – you click the field that you want to change the placement of, and move it up (or down) the list.
This will then change where the field is then displayed on the form (you can also do some clever stuff with the number of columns being used etc). Quite a nice way to easily update them.
Happy layout placing!!
