By default, when the DefaultColumnCount property is set to 0 , the number of layout columns in the template card is automatically calculated based on the total height of layout items. You can use the DefaultColumnCount property to explicitly specify the number of layout columns. In the figures below, you can see the same card whose items are arranged into one and two layout columns, respectively.
