Responsive Column Layouts

Create multi-column layouts that adapt to screen size.

Setting Column Spans

Each field can span 1-12 columns of the grid:

Columns	Width	Fields Per Row
12	100%	1
6	50%	2
4	33%	3
3	25%	4

Device-Specific Layouts

Set different layouts per device:

1. Select a field
2. Find Column Span settings
3. Set mobile (sm) and desktop (lg) separately
4. Example: 12 on mobile, 6 on desktop

Example: Side-by-Side Name Fields

First Name: colSpan 6 (desktop), 12 (mobile)
Last Name: colSpan 6 (desktop), 12 (mobile)

Result: Side-by-side on desktop, stacked on mobile.

Custom Validation Patterns

Use regex patterns for custom validation:

Common Patterns

Postal Code (US): ^\d{5}(-\d{4})?$
Phone (US): ^\(\d{3}\) \d{3}-\d{4}$
Date (MM/DD/YYYY): ^(0[1-9]|1[0-2])/(0[1-9]|[12]\d|3[01])/\d{4}$
No Numbers: ^[^0-9]*$
Letters Only: ^[A-Za-z]+$

Applying Custom Patterns

1. Select the field
2. Enable Pattern validation
3. Enter the regex pattern
4. Set custom error message
5. Test thoroughly

3. Set default value
4. Value is included in submission

Pre-Filled Fields

Display data that may or may not be editable:
