Product Configuration: Multi-column dialog layout

In the spring release of 2018 for Microsoft Dynamics 365 for Finance & Operations, Multi-column layout is now available for the Product configurator's runtime dialog.

To enable this functionality, select a model and open the Model properties form.

In the Model properties form, there is now a new field Maximum number of columns. This field allows you to specify how many columns should be used display the attribute groups of each component of the selected product configuration model.

Now, when the model is loaded in the configuration dialog in Test or via any of the order forms (Sales, Purchase etc.) it will look like this:

With this feature more of the user interface real estate is being put to use, to providing a better overview of the attributes of the selected component.
