Need Ability to Add More Than Two Columns to Layouts
Detail view layouts are not customizable enough. A few times I've needed to add a section to a page layout with 3 columns, but this is inexplicably not an option. I know it's possible because standard "Custom Links" section has 3 columns. Also would be nice to adjust field widths as mentioned in other posts.

It would be helpful to add as many columns to a page layout as needed. This should be up to the discretion of the administrator. If it looks to congested then columns would have to be removed. For example we have lane pairs with origin city state and destination city state. It would be nice to have 4 columns on one row. |

I completely agree. At a minimum, you should be able to have 3 columns. I am hoping that the Salesforce layout becomes just a flexible as Microsoft Access. |

Me too, if we can't add columns it would be useful to be able to add a table within a SF column or a table that can span both columns. |

2 column is practically useless, I vote for more columns |

We are transitioning from a customized Access contact management system (created before such a thing was even popular, ~ 1993/94) and the overwhelming thing that I notice is the lack of real form customization. A two column limit for data entry is very underwhelming. |

Yes agreed. We need more than just 2 columns to work with for sure. |

More than 2 columns of fields in Page Layouts
Allow 3 columns to display fields in Page Layouts rather than just two.

Very useful - but don't limit to 3, make it custom (within reason)

Even Better! Maybe they can do a cutoff at 4 or 5 columns..... still 3 columns would be better than the two we have access to, now.
Thanks Laura |

Allow more than 2 columns on a Page Layout ( Accounts, Cases, etc )
Hi,
With widescreen monitors now, we can fit way more data on the screen ... and it opens up ways to display information. As seen in the picture, it would be great to have the ability to display more than 2 columns of data on the Page Layout screens for Accounts, Cases, etc. Maybe a new limit of 4 - 5 ? I put in a similar but different request a while ago to have more than 3 columns on the Dashboard views ... because of the adoption of widescreen monitors :) Thanks ! |

I completely agree. We should be able to add as many columns as we would like(within reason) but we also would need to ability to adjust the column width. This would be very helpful. A good example would be check boxes. They don't need that much room and it would be nice to put them right next to the field that they correspond to. |
