You'll find that LANSA's Fields are components which define their user interface, as well their Description, Label, Type and Length and so on.
1. On the Repository tab, select the Fields node.
2. If Alphabetical Groupings is on, expand the letter S to see the list of fields starting with the letter S.

a. Select the Layout ribbon and change Alignment to Top Left and Flow to Down.
b. Change margin Top to 20 and margin Left to 10.
c. On the Details tab change Property MarginLeft to 0. This will hide the field's label text.

If your Details tab is showing the Categories View, expand the Layout group to find the MarginLeft and Width properties:
Change the Width to 400 pixels.
Your form should appear something like this:
