Label of Item alignment LEFT

Oracle APEX (since 5.0) comes with default settings for the labels of items "RIGHT" which looks like:

For several items on a page there is ample space wasted... and to my opinion labels aligned LEFT looks much more "in order"....

How to fix?

Go to "Region" settings -->
Appearance

Template: Standard

Template Options: Advanced --> Lable aligned: LEFT

and all lables of the items are nicely order left...

That's the trick.

Good luck ! [ nächstes Mal wieder in DE]

And . . . . . . 

You can set this in your Region template!

How to ?

Go to Shared Components

pick: Templates

search for "Region" (templates) and copy "Standard" using the copy icon in the most right column and

name it: "Standard_labels_left" -
Create your new template.

Then search for it again and edit it (click on "Standard_labels_left") and you will see:

 

Now you can switch from "right" to "left" easily - and apply changes.

Whenever you have a form and like the labels to be aligned "LEFT", just assign this template to your region.

my 2 cents.
