I'm fairly new to using ignition and perspective designer, and despite my best searches through the forums, google, and inductive university videos, I'm struggling to get my view page to grow the way I want it to.

I have a page that is meant for viewing on the web. It seems to have no trouble shrinking when the device windows are small, but when the device windows are big, the page won't grow to fill the space.

I want the page to extend all the way to the far right of whatever device it is being viewed on. I have both grow and shrink set to 1 on my main flex container and all the components inside it. I attempted changing my basis to larger px but it didn't seem to make any noticeable difference.

Any direction anyone can provide would be greatly appreciated!

Assuming your main container is direction Column, setting its Items to Stretch should work:

I currently have it set to column, because I need my 4 main sections to be stacked on top of each other. Is there a way to achieve the horizontal growth without going through and reformatting everything?

No, just set Items to Stretch like I show in the screenshot. If it already is set to that, then something else is keeping the contents at that width.
