Introduction: Greetings, everyone! I’m Tony Holowitz, and today I want to share with you a nifty workaround that will help you make the most out of your ACT Premium Cloud layout screen. As web-based software, ACT Premium Cloud offers great flexibility and accessibility, but it has a quirk when it comes to adding elements to your layout. Fear not! I’ve discovered a clever workaround that will enable you to utilize more space and design your layout to perfection. Let’s dive in and explore this handy trick!

Step 1: Accessing the Layout Screen: To access the layout screen in ACT Premium Cloud, simply go to “Tools” and click on “Design Layouts.”

Step 2: The Layout Screen Quirk: On the layout screen, you’ll notice that there’s a lot of space available to the right. However, the scroll bar limits how far you can go, leaving some valuable space untapped.

Step 3: The Clever Workaround: To maximize the available space on the right side of your layout screen, follow these steps:

1. Click on “Drawing” on the left-hand side toolbar.
2. Select the “Rectangle” tool and draw a small rectangle in a blank space on your layout.
3. Click on “View” and then “Properties Window” to bring up the properties window for the rectangle.
4. In the “Location” field, enter the value “1800.” (This value can vary depending on your monitor’s resolution.)
5. Click away from the rectangle to make it disappear.

Step 4: The Result: With the workaround in place, you should now be able to scroll all the way over to the right on your layout screen. This gives you ample space to add new fields, pictures, or any other elements you desire.

Step 5: Adding New Elements: To add new elements to the extended layout area, follow these steps:

1. Draw the desired element (e.g., rectangle, picture, or regular field) on the layout.
2. Click on the element, and using the “drag and move” technique, place it in the extended layout area to the right.

Step 6: Save and Enjoy: Once you’ve added the elements to your satisfaction, click on “Save” to preserve your layout changes. You can now explore and utilize the extended layout space for a more organized and visually appealing layout.

Conclusion: By employing this clever workaround, you can unlock the full potential of your ACT Premium Cloud layout. No longer limited by the scroll bar, you can now design a layout that optimizes space and enhances your user experience. With this newfound flexibility, you can tailor your layout to suit your specific needs, whether it’s organizing data to the right or extending it further down the screen. Embrace this helpful insight and make the most out of your ACT Premium Cloud layout!
