Trouble with custom view

[BryanBl1]

I have created a custom view called functional updates. This allows team members to input comments into text fields (columns) as they work on projects. However as they enter the comments the particular project keeps extending the height of the row as text is entered. I need help locking the row height to a particular number. I have seen how to adjust the column width but nothing on how to adjust row height. Please review the image attached and let me know if you have any questions - Thanks for the help, Bryan Bryan Blake Spectrum GAC

As far as I know it does an automatic wrap, so I don't believe you can change the height. But maybe someone else does.

Hi Bryan, Although it is a tradeoff of height aesthetics vs additional details, instead of presenting everything a user typed in (e.g. valuefields=Functional Update) you might consider changing the view to take just the first 100 characters of the Functional Update data (e.g. valueexpression=LEFT(Functional Update,100)) Regards, Doug Doug Den Hoed - AtAppStore

Doug, Thanks for the response. I may be missing something but I can't see where I would input this code. I can edit the code for each column but I can't see where I'd put your code in as a global setting.

Hi Bryan, You're most welcome. Here are some more details. To shorten whichever fields(s) are taking up all the vertical space: Click the column in question (e.g. "Next Steps/Follow Ups" in your screenshot) Click the Text Mode link (top right) Click the resulting text mode (middle of the screen) Find the line that says "valuefield=…" Change that line to instead say "valueexpression=LEFT(…,100)" Rinse and repeat for any other columns Save the view The result, if all goes well should be that your vertical space is now considerably shorter, having restricted each "big" text entry column to show only the first 100 characters ( The Good ). However, before you dive in, I should also point out that in switching to valueexpression, it also means that parameter will no longer be editable in the view ( The Bad ), and as there is no global setting as such so you'll have to manually repeat this approach on every such view and/or report you have ( The Ugly ).

Doug,, I understand now and saw that phenomenon where I couldn't edit the field anymore. This is useful I think if the project is finished and you want to clean up the display but not exactly what I was looking for. I appreciate the effort though. Bryan Blake Spectrum GAC

Hi Bryan, Gotcha. In that case, here's another simple option, in case it better suits your needs: The narrower the column, the higher it will wrap In text mode, you can set width=... but it can get fussy to figure out Often, a simpler approach is to highlight the column on the view or report you want to adjust Click the Advanced Settings link (top right) Enter a Custom Column Label without any white spaces (e.g. This_Is_My_Wide_Column_Name_______) Rinse and Repeat The result: wider columns, easily maintained, with the columns still remaining editable.

Bryan, So are you having all of these parties go into this one report and update their information? It might be easier to create individual reports for those respective parties dashboards, so that its not so crowded on the page they edit. You could then just use this report as your own master that you can manipulate the column sizes as needed like Doug mentioned, and still have all that information being entered by the other parties roll up to that report/view that they aren't editing.
