# XY Layout vs Form Layout

Asked by Tobias on 2017-11-25

Hello everybody,

I do have a question related to the xy table. As I could use a form table to collect several instances of one Plot it now converts these Form Layouts into XY Layouts where only one instance can be collected. Furthermore it does not react if I click on hide if not relevant and always appears... 

How can I change that back to how it was? 


Best,


Tobias

Hi Tobias,  
It's a bit difficult to understand what you have been able to do and what you need to do exactly.  
You can modify the layput of a multiple entity from Form to Label im the Layout section of the entity editor in the Survey Designer.   
We will contact you to your private email address  so you can share your survey with us and give us some more details.  
Thanks,
