Collect data in 2 or more columns in a section

If you have many fields (typically check boxes) and would like to change the layout of fields so that they are laid out in columns in a section, you can achieve this by following the instructions below:

1. First you'll need to add groups that relate to the columns. eg. Group 1 = column 1 , Group 2 = column 2. Click "Add New Group" at the bottom of the section so that you see two groups if you want two columns.
   
   
   
2. Next, add the fields that go into each column.
   
   
   
3. Click on the "Group Properties" link at the top of the section and click Edit in Group 1, change the group width to 6 and check "Allow Side-by-Side Groups". Click Update.
   
   
   
4. Repeat the steps for Group 2.
   
   
5. Here is what it looks like on the form:
   

Note: if you want the options tighter, you can modify the group width in the group properties in step 3 above. If you want 3 columns, you'll need 3 groups and each group will have a width of 4 instead of 6. Ensure "Allow Side-by-Side Groups" is always checked off in the groups that need to be in columns.
