Page Designer — Record Pages Shaped to How Your Team Works
Arrange fields, sections, and content on every record page with no-code, drag-and-drop layouts—so each workflow presents exactly the information its users need, on desktop, tablet, and mobile.
- Record page layouts (One Column, 50/50 and 70/30) are available on every plan and set by Solution Managers and Administrators.
- Any field type can be placed in the 70 column, and field order is preserved when switching layouts.
- Sections group fields, can be collapsed by default and carry descriptions of up to 750 characters; sections are recommended above 10 fields.
- Up to 30 tabs per record page in Basic, Process or Journey format; a flat layout is kept for clients without tabs.
- Sections can be shown conditionally on all plans; conditional Fields are on Enterprise and Signature.
What Is Page Designer?
Page Designer is SmartSuite's no-code tool for customizing record detail pages—how fields, sections, and content are arranged when a Record is opened. It helps Solution Managers give every workflow a purpose-built page—simple layouts for quick data entry, wider columns for content-heavy fields, and collapsible sections that keep long Records scannable. Page Designer is available on all SmartSuite plan types.
Layout Types
Choose the Record Layout That Fits the Work
Pick from three layout types: Single Column for quick, linear data entry; the default Two Column 50/50 for a balanced mix of field types; and Two Column 70/30, which gives content-heavy fields—SmartDocs, Text Areas, linked records, and sub-items—more horizontal room with no field-type restrictions in the wider column.
All three share one unified set of Sections, so switching layouts preserves field order and organization without rearranging.
Drag & Drop
Arrange 40+ Field Types with Drag-and-Drop Sections
Place and reorder fields directly on the page—changes save automatically and appear in real time. Group related fields into collapsible Sections, and mix basic fields with project-management fields like status and due date, collaboration fields like votes and ratings, and advanced fields like formulas and sub-items.
Layouts are automatically responsive, so the page you design works on desktop, tablet, and mobile without separate versions.
Adaptive Pages
Add Conditional Tabs and Sections—Governed by Role
Conditional Tabs and Sections adapt the page to the Record's state across every layout (Enterprise and Signature plans), so an approval section appears only when there's something to approve. Solution Managers adjust field settings directly from the record page rather than a separate admin screen.
Only Solution Managers and Administrators can modify page layout settings—everyone else gets a consistent, governed experience.
Page Designer
A record page is where practitioners live all day. Page Designer lets GRC teams shape those pages per workflow—dense where risk analysts need density, simple where control owners need speed.
A 70/30 layout gives control narratives and evidence SmartDocs the wide column, with framework mappings, owners, and test status structured alongside—one page an auditor can read top to bottom.
Group scoring, treatment, and review fields into collapsible sections so a risk Record stays scannable, and surface a remediation section conditionally when the score crosses a threshold.
A 50/50 layout balances structured fields—risk tier, assessment status, contract dates—with due-diligence notes and open findings, so reviewers see a vendor's standing and context in one glance.
A Single Column layout turns policy attestation and control self-assessment into linear data entry for occasional users—the same page design, automatically responsive on a phone.
Pair Page Designer with Conditional Display Logic so tabs, sections, and fields appear based on record values—one page design that adapts itself to every stage of the process.
