1 What is a column block?

A column block allows you to work with multiple blocks next to each other. For example, think of a signature in which you want to show a logo next to the contact details. You can work with a maximum of 6 columns. These can also be added later.

2 How do I add a column block?

Adding a column block
Add a column block by clicking + in the template layout and choosing Columns in the Layout Elements section.

In the next screen, you can choose a column layout.

Adding content to the columns
After you have added the columns, you can add content to the columns. To do this, click the + (1) in a column and add blocks. This works in the same way as adding blocks in the template. You can add multiple blocks per column. In the example below, we have used a column block containing a logo block and a text block in which merge fields are used.

3 What settings are there?

Changing settings for columns
The moment you work with columns, you have to deal with several settings.
​

  1. You can change the number of columns by clicking column block (click outside the inner columns). You can click Reset if you made a mistake and want to go back to the original settings.
    ​

  2. You can change the settings of the inner columns by clicking on them. You can adjust the width of a column by sliding the dot to the left or right or by entering a percentage. The other columns will then automatically become narrower or wider. Reset can also be used here.

Grouping and vertical alignment
​

  1. You can group the contents of a column block. The advantage of this is that the content remains fixed and cannot jump.
    ​

  2. It is possible to vertically align the content of the column to the top, middle or bottom. This is also possible in the inner columns.
