# FreeForm

Container that use free-form layout which position an element at (x,y) location.

### Description

The simplest form of report layout is free-form. Free-form layout is best for layouts that do not have a regular structure, such as a header for a tabular report. This layout option needs little explanation.

A container item holds a collection of other report items. Every item in the container is positioned at an (x, y) location relative to the top left corner of the container. Free-form layout is very much like the layout in e.RD-Pro: elements can be positioned anywhere. A drawback of free-form layout is that items are not automatically repositioned depending on the size of other elements. For example, if a large block of text is followed by another data item, the data item may be hidden if the block of text becomes too large.
