Input Elements with Label

Arclab® Web Form Builder

Input and Label Layout

Arclab Web Form Builder allows a completely free arrangement of input elements and labels.
With the help of a "Grid" (e.g. 2 Columns) you can define the layout into which you can then insert the input elements and labels in the next step:

 

Add a Container

 

Since input elements with label are frequently used in practice, there are already elements with label in the program for this purpose, which simplify the editing.

 

Switch to Elements with Label

 

However, it is important to understand that this is only a combination of a grid with 2 cells, a label and an input element.

Input Elements with Label on the Left

Insert an element in the layout "Label Left":

 

Elements with Label on the left

 

The following example adds a "Dropdown List" (with Label on the left) for selecting an option:

 

Dropdown List with Label on the left

 

If you want to insert additional text or a description under the input field, then select the option: "Insert additional Text (Description) below Input Field" and enter the corresponding text in the input field below. The text can be changed after inserting e.g. add a link or change the text color.

Input Elements with Label on Top

Insert an element in the layout "Label on top":

 

Elements with Label on Top

 

The following example adds a input field of the type "Editbox: Single-line Input" (with Label on top) for entering the name:

 

Editbox with Label Top

 

If you want to insert additional text or a description under the input field, then select the option: "Insert additional Text (Description) below Input Field" and enter the corresponding text in the input field below. The text can be changed after inserting e.g. add a link or change the text color.

Please note, that there is a difference between "Label on top" and a normal container with 2 rows. The upper cell uses a reduced padding-bottom and the lower cell uses a reduced padding-top. To apply the new spacing for 2 normal rows, use "Edit Cell" for each row.

Two (or more) Input Elements with Label in a Row

Go to e.g. "Grids and Tables" > "Label left" and select "Dual Layout".
It is not required to build the layout by hand!

 

Custom Dual Layout

 

 

 Click on the "Label" or use the context-menu and select "Edit Label" to edit the label (text):

 

Edit Label

 

Click on the "+" icon (cell) or use the context-menu and select "Add Element" to insert an "Input Element":

 

Insert Input Element

 

 

The example explained above is intended to convey the basics.

  • You can find many pre-defined custom layouts with "Label on the left" and "Label on top".
    It's not required to build the layout by hand!
  • With the help of grids almost every layout can be realized.
  • You can split cells of a grid or add more rows to a grid.
  • It is even possible to insert a container in a cell of a grid.
  • You can copy and paste a grid.
  • You can also import and export a grid, e.g. to use the grid in another form.
