Bootstrap's powerful grid system coupled with the Varello Admin design make for an incredibly smooth, responsive experience for the end user. You will find instructions below on how to best use it.
See how aspects of the Bootstrap grid system work across multiple devices with a handy table.

Using a single set of .col-md-*grid classes, you can create a basic grid system that starts out stacked on mobile devices and tablet devices (the extra small to small range) before becoming horizontal on desktop (medium) devices. Place grid columns in any .row.
Turn any fixed-width grid layout into a full-width layout by changing your outermost .containerto .container-fluid.
<div class="container-fluid"> <div class="row"> ... </div></div>
Don't want your columns to simply stack in smaller devices? Use the extra small and medium device grid classes by adding .col-xs-*.col-md-*to your columns. See the example below for a better idea of how it all works.
Build on the previous example by creating even more dynamic and powerful layouts with tablet .col-sm-*classes.
If more than 12 columns are placed within a single row, each group of extra columns will, as one unit, wrap onto a new line.
With the four tiers of grids available you're bound to run into issues where, at certain breakpoints, your columns don't clear quite right as one is taller than the other. To fix that, use a combination of a .clearfixand our responsive utility classes.
In addition to column clearing at responsive breakpoints, you may need to reset offsets, pushes, or pulls.
<div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-5 col-md-6">.col-sm-5 .col-md-6</div> <div class="col-sm-5 col-sm-offset-2 col-md-6 col-md-offset-0">.col-sm-5 .col-sm-offset-2 .col-md-6 .col-md-offset-0</div></div><div class="row"> <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-5 col-lg-6">.col-sm-6 .col-md-5 .col-lg-6</div> <div class="col-sm-6 col-md-5 col-md-offset-2 col-lg-6 col-lg-offset-0">.col-sm-6 .col-md-5 .col-md-offset-2 .col-lg-6 .col-lg-offset-0</div></div>
Move columns to the right using .col-md-offset-*classes. These classes increase the left margin of a column by *columns. For example, .col-md-offset-4moves .col-md-4over four columns.
To nest your content with the default grid, add a new .rowand set of .col-sm-*columns within an existing .col-sm-*column. Nested rows should include a set of columns that add up to 12 or fewer (it is not required that you use all 12 available columns).
Easily change the order of our built-in grid columns with .col-md-push-*and .col-md-pull-*modifier classes.
