Set checkboxes in across format on service portal page

[Souvick A]

Hello Team,

I have 7 checkboxes in a variable set. The checkboxes are as Mon, Tue, Wed, Thurs, Fri, Sat, Sun. Now on Servicenow backend the boxes are showing in across format while the same is showing one down another. 

Can anyone please guide to achieve the same on service portal in across format.

Regards

Souvick

I changed the layout on the container start, but no luck. Change on the variable set will it work?

@Souvick A Its a limitation as far as i know when it comes to containers .

maximum there can be upto 3 fields across in a same line in service portal .That is the reason you are not able to get these 7 fields in across format 

Try changing the variable set layout once

Thanks

Can you confirm on this, then we will not waste our time on this because for me also this is the first time trying to arrange 7 checkboxes, earlier done with 2 or 3 where it was working.

Hello @Souvick A ,

i think in service portal you have these options to select the layout of the variable set 

• 1 column wide: Variables appear in a single vertical column, ordered from top to bottom. This column is a simple way to display information, but can result in empty space to the right of questions. This order is the default layout.
• 2 columns wide, alternating sides: Variables are laid out in two columns with variables placed alternately in the left and right columns.
• 2 columns wide, one side, then the other: The first half of the variable set is laid out sequentially in the left column and the second half is laid out sequentially in the right column.

Change the layout field and see the applied changes on portal.Maximum we can follow these three types .Apart from these we cant customise the layout

Hope this helps 

Mark my answer correct if this helps you 

Thanks
