    Hi,

    how is it possible to know the name of a field in the layout mode ?

    In some layouts I prefer to delete the description field in some cases or I might loose the information field by dragging the fields around. In this cases I am not able to identify the fields anymore.

    I would expect this information in the inspector sidebar.

    Hi Andreas.

    Yes it’s there. Click the Layout button, then click the Layers tab at the bottom-right. Whatever you select there will show as selected on the custom layout on the left.

    Thanks!

    Hi Brendan,

    thanks, it was not that intuitive to find as expected but nice to see that it’s already implemented. 😀

    Well the Layers tab also allows you to adjust the layering of the objects on screen. That is, which objects are in front of or behind other objects.

    If there’s a better way that could have been represented I’m very interested to know your thoughts to make it more intuitive.

    Hi Brendan,

    There doesn’t appear to be a ‘how to’ for changing an object to ‘front’ or ‘behind’ other objects. Am I missing something?

    On other apps you just double click the object and select from a dropdown list the option to move it in front or behind, etc.

    The documentation also says it can be done but doesn’t say how.

    Thanks

    Hi John,

    Just drag the objects up or down to adjust the z-axis layering from the Layers tab.

    Thanks,

    Brendan
