From Old to New Form Designer

The new Form Designer in Tabidoo brings a completely new way of designing your forms. Compared to the old version, it offers drag-and-drop editing, visual controls, and much more flexibility. Let’s take a closer look at the differences.

Old vs. New Designer

Limitations of the old designer:

  • Fixed layout strictly tied to the table definition.
  • No drag-and-drop editing.
  • Only basic settings for form items.
  • Difficult to achieve more advanced layouts.

Advantages of the new designer:

  • Drag & Drop – easily move items around the form.
  • Visual controls – groupbox, tabs, splitter.
  • More settings per controls – adjust the behavior and appearance of every item.
  • Flexible layout – form rows are "virtual". Components in the same row automatically fill proportional space.

Why the change?

The new designer was created to give users more control, flexibility, and a modern interface that grows with your needs.

How to try it?

Currently, the new Form Designer is available as a beta feature in Tabidoo Labs. You can enable it and start experimenting today.
