How do I format columns in a record producer?

[c_hayes]

I am currently working on a record producer for my app. I want it to have two columns. From what I've read I need to use the container start, container end, and maybe container split variables and place them to contain what I want in each column when sorted by order. But it doesn't seem to be working.

So Currently we have this in the record producer:

Variable	Order
Container Start	1
Request Title	5
Request Type	10
Application Category	15
Container End	50
Container Start	51
Requestor	55
Business Unit Approver	60
Desired Completion Date	65
Container End	100

This is still only making one column though when we view it.

This is the goal(without the titles. But ideally there would be 2 columns with 3 items)

Column 1	Column 2
Request Title	Requestor
Request Type	Business Unit Approver
Application Category	Desired Completion Date

Hi Colin,

The containers will always go full page, but you can set them up to have 2 columns. That means that if you have 4 variables within one container and have it set to 2 columns you'll get 2 variables in each column. It sounds like you only need one container start and end and should have the container itself set to 2 columns.

You'll want to select Layout: 2 columns wide on the container start variable.

Also, when I view the record producer I can't see the submit button. When I use the preview link option from inside ServiceNow I can submit it. But from the outside I don't have a submit option. Do you know what is wrong there?

Are you viewing it in a CMS site maybe? Sometimes the page expands so the submit button gets pushing down below to the bottom of the iframe. You could inspect the page to see if it's there and just hidden.

It doesn't appear so, I tried scrolling down and it looks like I'm seeing everything. Is there something in the record producer settings that you need to turn on?
