Probably very simple, but how do i copy and past this box (see attached) so it goes below and everything else moves down? Or what do i insert to make that happen?

    You move the position of the Suggested Corrective Actions DataCard by changing its X property (left-to-right) and Y property (up-to-down).  I suggest you change the Y property here and give it a higher number to move it down.  Each card should have a number in the Y property to describe its position (starting at 1 for the top card).

    Hi @mdevaney 

     

    Tried that but if give the Corrective action box a higher number its drops below the other 2?

     

    So i thought id try by moving the bottom most box down first, but when i give it a higher value it just reverts back?

    The key is to assign a Y property value for every data card which will effectively give them an order.

    Yeah so they all appear to have a value counting up so i think thats correct

     

    How do i now insert a box thats the same shape and size and the corrective actions one? Like basically a copy and paste it so i cam call it Preventative actions?

    @richhowe 

    Do you have a preventative actions field in your datasource?  If yes, you should add it to the form.  Click on the Form, Go to Edit Fields and add that field.

     

    Once you placed the new textbox, its probably easiest just to look at the Height and Width values of the existing box and write them into the new box.
