is it possible to put 2 sections in the same row
It would be very clean and efficient if I could place 2 sections next to each other. Has anyone encountered this before?
Forum Discussion
- Two selections for what? What field type are you referencing? Where are you using it?
- I'm referring to section headings which are added in forms setup page
- They are planning on having that option in the new UI Mercury, but until then you just have to be creative with your form layout to maximize the space.
Sorry for the mix up before.- Do you know if this option is available now?
- Hillary,

- I do this using script and it is pretty simple. Here is a demo that rearranges six sections into three rows of 2, 3 and 1 section per "section row".
I will add this to the long list of demos I am bringing to Empower. Register for Empower and I will demo this in the hallway.
Contact me off-world using the information in my profile if you need this implemented in your application:
https://community.quickbase.com/people/dandiebolt- Thanks Dan for helping me with this. It was exactly what I needed!
- Did you bring this demo along to EMpower? Are you creating a pastie for this?
Thanks - This work was done for a client so there is no public demo. What I can tell you is that is used flexbox to rearrange the sections.

If I was asked to do this again I would probably use CSS Grid as all modern browsers support it and it is much more powerful:

I would image that over time that QuickBase itself would start using CSS Grid for its dashboard, forms and other layouts as it makes complex layouts extremely east to implement.
In any case if you need assistance with this feel free to contact me off world using the information in my profile:
