Column width

[#1]

Not sure if this is the right place to raise this question...

How do you adjust the width of a column when looking at all tickets, I can modify the column by using 'Personalize List Columns' and add/remove etc

Would like to be able to drag the width of the column, like in excel etc

Is this possible or is it a limitation of the Toolset ?

Thanks

Just submitted a enhancement request. Hope I am not speaking to a wall this time !

Hi All,

I use Service Now, and a resize option when I have created my view (My Queue with filters applied) would be helpful simply because, I have added to my view -

Number, Requester, and Requester, Short Description and Description and priority and state.

The description row is not large enough (width ways), and is cut off, the ability to resize this field or even a proper print and search ability would allow us to find our jobs faster.

If we need to go through our jobs, we need the ability to search our jobs, resize our views and each of the columns and maybe even the rows as well, and also print our views of all our jobs with filters applied.

to be able to manage our jobs effectively, I request this please be looked at.

The filter functionality is fantastic, but these extra things would really help for management.

Cheers guys

Hi Duncan,

Can you explain how column width is affecting your ability to search? I'll take an example and you tell me if I am misunderstanding something... You can use the list filter

or even faster you can use the list header search. For example, here I'm looking for any short description that contains "mail"

I should have also recommended to fill in the enhancement request linked earlier in this thread. The more people that ask for a feature, the more likely it is to get implemented. Here's the link again.

I found a way to do this. You have to add field style to the particular filed you want to be smaller. I had an integer field that only has 2 characters in it and felt all of that empty space was annoying - I added a field style to my field (width:2px) and I made the value be '1'. Since I have a sequential list of integers, if one of them matches my value '1', then the rest of the records follow suit and the it changes their width to be way smaller.

Hope this helps.
