• Key Concepts: 
  Form factor is a term used in the SAP Enterprise Portal (EP) to describe the size and shape of a user interface element. It is used to determine how the element will be displayed on the screen. Form factors are used to ensure that the user interface elements are displayed in an optimal way for the user.
  
  How to use it: 
  Form factors are used to determine how a user interface element will be displayed on the screen. The form factor of an element can be set in the EP Designer, which is a tool used to create and modify user interfaces. The form factor can be set for each element individually, or it can be set for all elements at once.
  
  Tips & Tricks: 
  When setting the form factor of an element, it is important to consider the size of the screen that the user will be using. If the form factor is too large, it may not fit on the screen and may not be visible to the user. It is also important to consider how many elements will be displayed on the screen at once, as this can affect how they are displayed.
  
  Related Information: 
  The form factor of an element can also be affected by other settings, such as its position on the page and its visibility. It is important to consider all of these settings when designing a user interface in order to ensure that it is displayed optimally for the user. Additionally, there are other tools available in EP Designer that can help with designing user interfaces, such as layout templates and style sheets.
