Columns

You can use the Columns UI Pattern to split content into separate columns, improving the way information is displayed on screen.

How to use the Columns UI Pattern

1. In Service Studio, in the Toolbox, search for Columns.

   The various Column widgets are displayed.

   

   If the UI widget does not display, it may be because you used a ready-made app, which deletes unused widgets from the module. To make additional widgets available in your app:

   a. Go to Module > Manage dependencies.

   b. Search for and select the relevant Producer, for example OutSystemsUI. Ensure Show All is selected.

   c. On the Public elements for the selected Producer displayed on the right, ensure Show All is selected.

   d. Search for and select the element you want to add, and click Apply.

   e. In Service Studio, in the Toolbox, search for the widget again.

2. From the Toolbox, drag the required Column widget into the Main Content area of your application's screen. In this example, we drag the Columns 2 widget onto the screen.

   

3. Add the required content to the Column widget, for example, images, forms, text. In this example, we add some images and text.

   

4. On the Properties tab, you can customize the Colums's look and feel by setting any of the optional properties, for example, the size of columns and space between each of the columns (GutterSize), and in what order the columns display on different device types.

   

After following these steps and publishing the module, you can test the pattern in your app.
