Hello @mattpb  
Welcome to our community.  
Are you building with the old snap-to-place interface or the new drag-and-drop interface?  
At the moment the option is still available on StP

What he failed to mention is that you can make a custom dvl using the layout component and cloning. It’s super easy.

Hi @jared , sorry how do you do that? I haven’t touched thinkable for a couple of months however I use to create an app just for creating custom data viewers using the row and column etc but I can’t find those in the list of components so I am totally stuck.

@jared thank you for pointing it out.

@mattpb Right At the moment, Layout is a beta component on Drag and Drop.  
I gave you access to it.  
Could you please refresh your browser and attempt to use it?
