Enabling Flow Form Template Layout Mode for All Form Templates

Aptify 5.5.5 introduces the form template layout mode concept, which can be used to administer the way in which form template objects are positioned in the web interface for all form templates or for the form templates for single entities. There are two form template layout modes available, Absolute and Flow. In the Absolute form template layout mode, form template objects have absolute positions. Absolute is the default form template layout mode. Enabling the Flow form template layout mode for all form templates allows for all forms in the web interface to adapt their appearance to fit the size of the window, whether that is determined by device or window re-sizing.   

Perform the following steps to enable the Flow form template layout mode for all form templates:

1. In the Entities service of the Framework Administration application, find and open the Form Templates Entity record.
2. Click the Configuration > Attributes tab.
3. Double-click the FormTemplateLayoutMode attribute to open the record. 
4. In the Value field, enter Flow and click OK to update this attribute.
5. Double-click the FormTemplateWidthCalculationMode attribute to open the record. 
6. In the Value field, enter Percent and click OK to update this attribute.
7. Save the Form Templates Entity record.
   
   
    
8. In the Process Flows service of the Process Pipeline application, find the Generate HTML5 Web Form Template UI Parts Process Flow record and click the Run Process Flow button.
9. Ensure that the following process flow input properties are set to the specified values:
   • FormTemplateSelection set to AllFormTemplates
   • FormTemplateLayoutMode set to Default
   • FormTemplateWidthCalculationMode set to Default
     
      

10. Click the Run button.
