In the upper area ("Tabs/Sections"), you can add new tabs, sections, tables, lines, HTML, and the Attachments box.

 

In the "SharePoint Columns" area, you can add any of the columns from the list you are working with to the form. You can search for a column by typing in any part of the name into the search box. This will bring up all the columns that match.

 

In either area, simply click the control or column, and drag it over to where you want it on the form. Once you have the columns on the form, you can move them around by dragging and dropping where you would like them on the form. They can be removed by clicking the X in the upper right of the column or controlor when you right click on column it will show dropdown, from there you can click delete option to delete the column.

In tabs, same column will appear in  tabs where it is added. Value of the column will be same in all tabs where it is added.
