Can portal items render more then two columns?

[Daniel O_Connor]

I've recently launched a ServicePortal into our business for the first time, and now that it has settled I'm looking at some outstanding dev requests that I want to tackle. These requests from the business are multi column form layouts. I put these down my list as I wanted to launch our portal first, to then see what options are available for layouts. 

Searching documentation and the forum, I'm not seeing much information. Plenty of references to "UI PAges" but nothing really about what is possible with them. 

I have two examples/scenarios I'm currently in design phase with 

1) Payroll enhancement

This enhancement is for a payroll custom app, where managers send amended hours to the team. This has been historically done via spreadsheet, attached to a request. To enhance the process for payroll, I want to effectively render multiple columns and dynamic rows, so when the user completes a row it auto generates a new one, until such time as they hit submit.

Can't find any info on how I could do this multi column layout in a portal.

2) Order form

Similar to the above, another custom app whereby want to take a store order to a supplier. Again multiple columns with dynamic rows until such time they hit submit.

Hi Daniel

Service Catalog uses containers that enable control of the layout of the variables of catalog items, so you can create variables that appear in multiple columns. Service Portal does not honor containers, causing everything to display in a single column. Compared to the platform view of a catalog item, Service Portal does not render nested containers. Only variables and variable sets can be displayed inside a container.

Not Possible,you can not do that.I think It Might be possible using Widget.
