Column settings in Template Editor

Templates can be printed in several columns (just like newspaper columns). Template Editor cannot visualize several columns, but the column settings determine the width of row components. These column settings are common to all rows in a template.


Field	Description
Min. count	Sets minimum number of columns in output template. Value cannot exceed Max. count.
Max. count	Sets maximum number of columns in output template. Value cannot be smaller than Min. count.
Spacing	Sets the gap between columns.
Start from	Sets the starting point for column distribution. Setting this helps eliminate white space and influences the visual output of templates. Click the list to choose the starting location: Top left Top right Bottom left Bottom right
Fill direction	Fill direction determines in which direction the columns are filled: Horizontal: fills the columns first to the right, then down. Vertical: fills the columns first down, then to the right.
Fill policy	Fill policy determines how the columns are filled in the template: Even: makes column heights equal. Continuous: fills a column before proceeding to the next one, results in uneven column heights.

Tip:

If you want to fix the number of columns, give the same values to Min. count and Max. count. Then the template is always output with this number of columns.
