When a form has several short, related fields — a name, a department, an amount — stacking them one per row wastes space and makes the form feel longer than it is. The Columns layout lets you place fields side by side so related information reads as one row, the way a real employee would expect to see it.
Add a Columns component to your form, then drag the fields you want side by side into it. In this expense-approval form, Employee Name, Department, and Amount live in the same row so a reviewer can scan them together.

Select each field to configure it individually — label, default value, required state — while it stays anchored to its column position. You don't lose per-field control just because it's sharing a row.
Preview the result. The three fields now sit side by side under the intro text, with the action buttons below — exactly what a submitter sees when they open the form.

Instead of a long vertical form, related fields are grouped visually — faster to scan, faster to fill out, and closer to how the data is actually related.
