To create a form that has a flowable layout, you must organize
the sections into subforms to merge with data. Subforms are objects
that act as containers for other objects, including fields, boilerplate
objects, and other subforms. They help to position objects relative
to each other and provide structure in form designs that have a
flexible layout.
