Question
Approaches to Column Widths and Varying Screen Sizes?
I feel like I've been fighting this for too long without asking... A side-effect of the way we work is a demand for "at a glance" reports that are fairly information-dense so that users do not have to flip-around to multiple, more specific, reports to get information. The problem is that if I leave some of these reports to the system-automated column widths, certain key information (to us) ends-up too narrow and causing super-long vertical rows. So of course this means I end-up playing with column widths. Which then means I pretty much have to apply column widths to all columns because once you do one, the rest really get kinda crazy. For the most part this has worked because while all Planners have laptops, they have large 2560x1440 displays at their desks; a byproduct of needing to view PDFs for packaging mechanicals. However, I only just realized today that some of the reports completely break-down on the native laptop screens (1920x1080) when they are away from their desks: quite a few of the smaller columns completely collapse down to their smallest size, which means the data in those columns is not viewable. So...am I missing any tricks? Is there a way to do column widths by percentage instead of by fixed pixels? Is there a way to customize reports and views that are a little more small window friendly? (When I personally have this issue I build different views I append with "concise" but I don't think having multiple versions of Planner views is going to work.)
