The GlobalForms designer uses a 12 cell grid system, allowing for easy layout of components on a form. When you create a new form, the default design surface is made up of a single row and a single column that spans all 12 cells of the grid. If you drag a component onto the designer, it will by default fill the column it's dropped into. This allows you to create responsive forms that scale to the users environment regardless of screen size or resolution. The Columns components allows you to break up that default row into additionional additional rows and columns, up to 12 cells wide. With a columns component on your from, you will able be able to drop other components (including other Columns components) into the column and that component will be bound to the width of its parent.
