Any way to squeeze space out of a Kinetic form with multiple column divisions?

Hey,

In order to make the tab order run left to right, I inserted a bunch of 3-column divisions. Each one has only a single row of components. It works okay, other than making the form slower. But I have a bunch of extra space in the form now. Any way to squeeze it down?

Thanks,

Joe

The best way I found that is to add more columns to your space, but leave them empty.

Thanks, Hannah. I think I’m being unclear again, and not for the first time. :-/

It’s the vertical space I’d like to squeeze out. I have 16 rows of 3 inputs each. In order to get the tabs to work left to right, I have each group of 3 inputs in a single 3-column division (16 divisions). The vertical spaces between those divisions run the inputs down off the screen.

When I put the inputs into a single 3-column division, it took a lot less vertical space, but the tab order runs down each column instead of across, which won’t work for the application.

I don’t know a whole lot about CSS and how to decrease the border/padding areas, or how I might implement that in Epicor if I did.

Still plinking.

Thanks,

Joe

Ah, you’re out of luck again. There’s no padding ability.

At best, and I say best VERY loosely, you could try putting some containers below all of your fields to see if it squished it upwards.

If it’s ever a question of aesthetics or usability, Kinetic probably can’t do it. :grimacing:

I hope you guys can get answers from Epicor at insights on this…Kinetic forms HORRIBLE for data entry…

Well, if it ever gets to the point where people like it, it will be time to migrate to a new UI platform anyway. Its like shoes, if you ever find a pair you like, they are sure to be discontinued. :laughing:

It’s okay tho, we are experts at making lemonade
