Hi, I am creating a recruiting app and would like to know how I can have multiple column display on my Layout screen like this? ![Screenshot 2023-07-22 at 6.28.57 AM](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/d/0/d00072c159ea526f25917e78968ab908182e65f8.png) ---

I am using a container with a 2-column layout. But when I add number entry components inside the container they don’t show up side by side. Is there a restriction on what type of components will work in a side by side layout? ![Inked3columnlayout](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/6/f/6fc4c91acc9cf21a2b7de1f3bfbae14d201b3158.jpeg) ---

@Food2Soil, you haven’t placed any components into the second column. You have all of them in the first column. ![Screenshot_20230724-132232](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/b/0/b012d8b3bbf55aa992b65bc1b03c9003671c796a.jpeg) ---

Gotcha! Fixed it (i think) but still doesn’t show side by side. ![Inked3columnlayout](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/2/f/2f595ab3f154a3532e5fb3c034b3a434a94ff8f3.jpeg) ---

Your screen may not be wide enough. If you do a full screen preview, or reduce the size of the side panels in the builder, then it should look better. If the screen is only wide enough for a mobile screen, or a small tablet, then it’s going to stack the columns vertically no matter what. The multi column layout is most useful if you primarily use the app on a desktop. ---

Thankyou. It does work on the desktop set to a full screen. Appreciate your help and the clarification. ---
