Configuring appearance of SharePoint form in panel from list or library view

SharePoint Form Panel will open SharePoint forms in a panel, similar to default SharePoint forms.

Note

In order to use this functionality, please, make sure to update the package in the App Catalog to the latest version.

Form Panel preserves full functionality of our custom SharePoint fields - including routing.

It is enabled by default in the latest version, but can be configured in the designer, in the General settings:

Form Panel configuration menu

Here, you can select which forms you want or do not want to be opened in the panel, as well as the size of the panel. Last setting allows forms opened from List and Document library web parts to also be opened in a panel:

List and Document library web parts

Important

There is a slight delay between the time when a user opens the list and when the script loads completely for panel forms, so if the users open a form too quickly, then they will be redirected to a default full-screen form instead of a panel.

Custom Width

If you want to change the width of the Panel, and the three given options do not suit your needs, you can simply use the following CSS and specify any width that you need:

.ms-Panel-main{
  width: 1200px !important;
}
