Forms Layout

Overview

Bizagi has introduced a new Forms Layout menu, designed to give you complete control over how your Forms appear within your apps. This menu lets you easily customize the form’s size, position, and default display settings—such as whether to hide the header while scrolling or show the details panel by default. With these options, you can tailor the layout of your forms to better suit your app’s user experience and visual style.

Note that if you have the size set as Full the position won't have any effect on the form, the position will only be seen if the screen is minimized.

 

Hide Header

You can toggle whether the Form header should auto-hide when scrolling:

If enabled, the header will disappear when the user scrolls down and reappear when scrolling up.

This provides a cleaner view when navigating long Forms.

Here is an example showing how the header disappears when scrolling.
