I have created a matrix where I have 10 columns - consisting of select many, select one and integer. In the community forums, I read that it should be fine up till 10 columns. However once deployed, it is getting distorted. How can I fix this?
Subsequently, in the previous question to the matrix, I am asking for an integer. I want the number of rows in the matrix to repeat based on that integer. Is it possible to do this with begin_repeat? Any help appreciated. Thanks!

@oindrila, have you tried to check this on a PC’s browser to see how it’s seen? Or, maybe change your screen orientation to landscape to see how it behaves? Basically, Enketo web forms are designed for larger displays hence there could be issues with smaller screens.
Hi Kal, thanks for the response. I have tried it on chrome as well. Appears the same way sadly.
Hi @oindrila, are you able to attach the relevant section of your XLSForm? The distortion may be to do with not specifying Widths correctly
using w1, w2, w3….w10 to indicate the relative width of a group or cell.
The extra w1, w2….w10 markup is placed in the ‘appearance’ column of an XLSForm.

There used to be an excellent tutorial form linked from the Enketo site but sadly that link doesn’t seem to work any more - but the Kobo Community might be able to help troubleshoot if you share the XLSForm you are using! All the best.
Hi Nat,
Thank you for responding to this. I did specify the width however it shows the same error in a desktop browser as well. Here’s a screenshot of the xls form. I have used w1. I tried using the method you suggested, it brings the questions in the matrix but one under the other. I need it to be in one line:
Any help appreciated, thanks!
