Column Sharing in Report

Ah yes, I'm quite familiar with that issue and after some trial and error I was able to figure it out when it was happening to me. I didn't actually look at your code yet but based on what you described its actually nothing that you did wrong. From what I can tell, when you combine one of the default bolded fields like project name with other fields, they all take on that attribute. I'm not sure if this is because there is open tags in the Workfront code or not but the solution is actually quite simple. Basically what I've done is created another column to go before the field that is bolded and the only thing in that column is a tag. Then my column.1. would be the default field that is bolded, like the project name. I would then add in the in my column 2 to close out that bold tag and than i'm free to use whatever formating i want after that. here is a sample of the 3 columns, where the 1st is column is blank and just the b tag, the next column is the default Project Name column, and then the column after that closes out my b tag and starts whatever i want after. column.0.displayname=Projects column.0.sharecol=true column.0.textmode=true column.0.usewidths=true column.0.value= column.0.valueformat=HTML column.0.width=600 column.1.descriptionkey=name column.1.isInlineEditable=false column.1.link.linkproperty.0.name=ID column.1.link.linkproperty.0.valuefield=ID column.1.link.linkproperty.0.valueformat=int column.1.link.lookup=link.view column.1.link.valuefield=objCode column.1.link.valueformat=val column.1.linkedname=direct column.1.listsort=string(name) column.1.namekey=name.abbr column.1.querysort=name column.1.section=0 column.1.sharecol=true column.1.shortview=false column.1.stretch=0 column.1.textmode=true column.1.valuefield=name column.1.valueformat=HTML column.2.sharecol=true column.2.textmode=true column.2.value= Project Manager: column.2.valueformat=HTML column.2.width=1 Let me know if that makes sense and if it was what you were referring to. Thanks!

I just looked at the code and all you are really missing is that new blank column.0 with the tag in there and then it should work for you. You already had the in the column.2.

Hi Scott, great stuff. I’ll hopefully be able to have another go this afternoon. ☺ Laura Ray Project Support Analyst Bakkavor Information Systems Bakkavor Group West Marsh Road, Spalding, Lincolnshire, PE11 2BB, UK Direct: +44 (0)1775 763 010 www.Bakkavor.com // Laura.Ray@Bakkavor.com< [cid:image002.png@01D22DF3.73CEEF10]

Hi Scott, I finally found some quiet time to work on my report. It’s nicely displayed now with bold titles and normal text info - well except for the requestor name which is also in bold and I can’t figure out why. Anyway, I can live with that. Next challenge - how do I add about 10 spaces after each title before it lists the info for that title? Is that possible?

Laura, you should be able adjust each title and add some spaces. For example: Details: If you paste the latest code, we can identify the reason behind the bold requestor name.

I was going to say the exact same thing! Thanks Narayan! In Reply to Narayan Raum:

Here's an example of how you can insert some html characters and colors as well. See the attachment.

Hi, I’ve since fixed the requestor name issue (not sure how though). The code is in a bit of a mess I’ve just discovered as it’s missing some columns and it hasn't shared some. Very annoying because I have to go back through and change all the column numbers after I insert some of the missing columns. I tried just adding some spaces but it didn’t work. I’ve attached the code here in the word doc - thanks!

I should add, I'm very new to text mode (and Workfront) so I'm very good at copying and pasting code but not as good at understanding it. I really like how you've laid yours out with colors and style etc. Very nice - I want that!

If you have to insert columns, you can “break” the sharing by removing the sharecol=true, which will visually display your columns again side-by-side. You can then insert your column and, if done properly, let the GUI handle the renumbering for you.
