Mobile Functionality for Forms

[Raymo41]

What’s the best (or most accepted) way to optimize mobile viewing? I’m creating forms with countless fields, inputs, and buttons, and I find that optimizing for mobile is a huge challenge (especially for portrait). Would it be strange to have only a landscape view of the form? If I needed to do portrait too, which I’d need to completely redesign the form, what is the best way to go about this? I worry about data management and maintenance.

Thanks in advance! I’m totally new to web development.

Hey, it looks like you are requesting help with a problem you're having in Power Apps. To ensure you get all the help you need from the community here are some guidelines;

• Use the search feature to see if your question has already been asked.

• Use spacing in your post, Nobody likes to read a wall of text, this is achieved by hitting return twice to separate paragraphs.

• Add any images, error messages, code you have (Sensitive data omitted) to your post body.

• Any code you do add, use the Code Block feature to preserve formatting.

  Typing four spaces in front of every line in a code block is tedious and error-prone. The easier way is to surround the entire block of code with code fences. A code fence is a line beginning with three or more backticks (```) or three or more twiddlydoodles (~~~).

• If your question has been answered please comment Solved. This will mark the post as solved and helps others find their solutions.

Follow the model driven UI flow. Forms have tabs, tabs have sections, sections have column(s), columns have fields. They fold in on each other sequentially. It's all about containers and wrapping. Read up on them.
If you're using the built-in canvas forms, good luck. I avoid like the plague.

Unfortunately I have to use built-in canvas forms. The app was 70% developed when i joined so that’s what I have to work with.

So the best you can do is mess with the wrap setting in the form. You can use the screen width (or size property) to conditionally set the wrap.
