Lengthen column label on a bar graph

[Dan Hinrichs]

Is it possible to lengthen the column labels that appear on the x-axis of a bar graph?   Looks like it's limited to around 17-20 characters OOB.

Set your property glide.chart.truncate.x_axis_labels to false in the table sys_properties, or via the reporting proeries page

More info: Reporting properties

Thanks for this solution Arnoud Kooi! It does successfully remove the truncation when I view the report in the report application. However, if I add the report as a widget onto a responsive dashboard, the labels are once again truncated. 😞  On the plus side, at least when I hover over them now in the dashboard widget, the hover display shows the full name.

Do you know of any solution for stopping them truncating in the dashboard widget?

I have the same issue with the dashboard widget.  Does anyone have a solution for this?

Greetings All,

I was finally able to dig out the property “glide.chart.label.legend.truncate_to” in the SYS Properties and not in the Reporting properties that corrected the truncation for us. Hopefully, this can help others.

In the Filter navigator, enter sys_properties.list and search for “glide.chart.label.legend.truncate_to”. Set the value to the max length you want on the reports.
