## What Is the Container Field in the Dusk FSM Form Builder and How Do I Use It?

The **Container field** in the Dusk FSM Form Builder lets you organize form elements into responsive columns—making your forms cleaner, easier to complete, and more visually structured.

This is especially useful when collecting multiple data points side-by-side, such as inspection checklists, customer signatures, or grouped input fields.

### ✅ Recommended Layouts by Device

* **Mobile Users**: Use a maximum of **3 columns** to keep text readable and touch-friendly.
* **Tablet/Desktop Users**: You can safely use up to **5 columns** for more advanced layouts.

This approach ensures both field usability and PDF readability across devices. If you want to minimize space further, toggle the **Hide Name** checkbox to exclude field labels (seen in Box 1 and Box 4).

### ⚙️ Container Field Settings

Each container lets you define:

* **Column count and width**
* **Field assignments within columns**
* **Label visibility**

This gives your business maximum flexibility to match any use case—from safety forms to customer check-ins.
