difference between form layout and form design in servicenow

[Michael Jones -]

Form layout is a quick way to add or move existing fields on a form. You can create fields, but your options are much more limited. 

Form Designer gives you the ability to create complex fields with options as well as create sections while organizing and arranging fields. 

I hope this helps!

Both serve the similar purpose.

Form Design: You can visually see how the fields will look on the form, drag and drop.

Form Layout: Pretty much similar thing you can do by using splits and quite simple and faster in response. Form design will not work the same in all scenarios and a painful experience while drag and dropping. Also you can create new variables right from there in form layout.

In Form Designer you cannot do Dot Walking to reference fields.

In Form Layout you can add splits easily

I would suggest the new Form Builder which is combination of Layout and Designer and is easy to use
