Browser Client Form Splitters

In the Browser Client, Forms contain splitters that help Users resize the Form Arrangement using both horizontal and vertical splitters.

Good to know:

  • In an open record, the horizontal splitter above the Form Arrangement (child object tabs) adjusts the overall height of the Form Arrangement. The vertical splitter in the middle of the Form Arrangement adjusts the overall width of the Form Arrangement if the tab features more than one section.
  • Adjust the Form Arrangement by clicking anywhere on the splitters except for the Show/Hide Form Arrangement arrows and the Show/Hide Child Object Details arrows.

There are several buttons and icons featured in the Browser Client splitters.
