1. By clicking on the "Edit" icon (gear) in the pop-up dialog in the graphical view of the form on the left-hand side:

The pop-up dialog only appears in interactive mode of the form view. The dialog that appears has the following appearance, which can vary slightly from field type to field type, as the different field types can have different properties.

• X: The position of a field in the horizontal direction

• Y: The position of a field in the vertical direction

• Colspan: The number of grid cells spanned horizontally

• Rowspan: The number of grid cells spanned vertically

• Absolute width: The absolute width of a form field in pixels

• Absolute height: The absolute height of a form field in pixels

• Alignment: The orientation of a field within its grid cells

• Fill horizontal: Specifies whether a field should extend horizontally across its grid cells

• Fill vertical: Specifies whether a field should extend vertically across its grid cells

• x-Pad: The horizontal indentation of a field within its grid cells

• y-Pad: The vertical indentation of a field within its grid cells

• Min: The minimum allowed
• Max: The maximum allowed
• Default: The standard value
• Step: The step size with which the value can be adjusted
