Resize Forms Using Splitters
In the Browser Client and Portal, Forms contain splitters that help users resize the Form Arrangement using both horizontal and vertical splitters.
Good to know:
- In an open record, the horizontal splitter above the Form Arrangement (child object tabs) adjusts the overall height of the Form Arrangement. The vertical splitter in the middle of the Form Arrangement adjusts the overall width of the Form Arrangement if the tab features more than one section.
- Adjust the Form Arrangement by clicking anywhere on the splitters except for the Show/Hide Form Arrangement arrows and the Show/Hide Child Object Details arrows.
- The splitter location defaults to the setting for that form, as defined in the Business Object Form Arrangement Editor. After adjusting the splitter location, the new location will be saved and used for that Business Object until the browser tab or window closes. After opening the site and logging in again, the splitter location will default back to the placement settings for the form for that Business Object. This setting does not persist across browsers.
There are several buttons and icons featured in the form splitters.
