Hi community,
I’m working with a table in a dashboard/LCA that includes a column containing long text strings. Ideally, I’d like the full content of these strings to be visible by default—without requiring users to manually expand the column.
Is there a way to achieve this using column appearance templates or any other settings?
Thank you!
Hi Sebastian,
To make columns wider, you can edit their template and change the width of the template itself. For this, you will need to have no layer selected, which will show the dimensions on the right panel. Note that this will only expand the column up to a certain limit. Columns can only be 250px max or 1/4 of the table width (the highest of the two) at the moment. We are aware of this limitation and have a task to improve this behavior.
Alternatively you can also edit the height of the template to give the text in the column more space to wrap to multiple lines. This will also help with showing more text at once.
Note that tooltips can also be configured on text shapes, which can make the entire text visible when hovering over the column.
