Adjust Width of the Formengine

Engines Form Engine

Hi guys,

I am using A12 in the 2023.06-ext1 version.

And I’d like to know how to change the default width of the form engine, so that it is not 50% wide but 2/3 of the page.

I know that this is possible, because you can see it done in the mgm A12 Showcase <INTERNAL_LINK> when opening a form on there it takes up about 2/3 of the pages’ width.

But I couldn’t find any documentation about it, also no configuration option in the SME for neither the Overview, Form nor Layout. I also tried using Style-Classes, but without success.

Maybe I am missing something and someone can point me to a location where this is documented or can tell me how to do this?

Hi @raffael-broad-linden

This isn’t a Form Model setting but it’s an App Model setting.

  1. If you are a modeler and are using the Master Detail Module Model
    Set the “Form Width”. The default is 6 (50% Form 50% Overview). In your case, you want to set this to 8, as 8 is 2/3s of 12.

  2. If you are a developer working with the App Model you can set this in the Flow when you add the FormEngine view. You need to select the Constraints Type “MasterDetail” and then set the “Preferred Width” as above. You can see an example of this in the Basic workspace which comes with the installer. This setting has been made in the InvoiceModuleFlow.
