I am trying to move the cards down but I can't. I don't even have it snapped in place. It's underneath the tab. How can I move it?

Any help would be much appreciated. This is driving me crazy

HI @theisogunro ,

You can Use Container then it will automatically Fit into the Parent Container.

THanks,

Hi @theisogunro ,

Could you please share more details about your scenario? What are the Page tabs for? What's the purpose you would like to achieve to put the tabs in the Form?

Assuming that you would like to switch pages of a SINGLE Form since too many data cards in the form and you would not like to scroll down, I'm afraid there is no way to achieve your need.

The proper practice I think is using two Forms, each one includes data cards of partial fields. Then you will need to make the tabs out of the Form, like my demo follows:
Steps:
1\ Set OnVisible of the Screen to

UpdateContext({varPage1:true})

2\ Set OnSelect of Page1 tab to UpdateContext({varPage1:true}) and Page2 tab to UpdateContext({varPage1:false})

3\ Set Visible form1 to varPage1, and form2 to !varPage1

4\ Overlap the two forms.

Hope this helps.

Hi @theisogunro ,

When editing my test app I think I know what you have encountered. Did you add a scrollable screen and add controls into the default Card?

If so, you will not be able to move down the Card since it is pined to the top of the Canvas. One choice to move the Card is lower down the Canvas:

The other is after adding the scrollable screen, you could delete the whole canvas to make the screen clear, then you could add the Tabs and Edit Form.

On your end, you could first move down the canvas to leave some blank space, then cut and paste the controls (Tab buttons and Edit Form) to blank space, place them to where you would like. In the end, remove the canvas.

Hope this helps.
