Column widths not saving

Hello,
We have recently found an issue with column widths e.g When you are in a sales order and you press tab in the item no. field, the list of items comes up. If you go to form settings and choose to group by one of the fields it then shows the items grouped by whatever you chose. If you then change the column widths in this window, e.g for item no. and item
description and then come out of that screen and go back in, the column widths have gone back to
how they were oringinally.
SAP Support have said they have managed to reproduce this in both versions.  Please can I request this to be fixed in a future patch release as it is very important to one of our customers.
Many thanks,
Kate

  • Table Autofit - Fixed Column Width not actually fixed when resize viewing window

    Using RoboHelp x8.0.2.208
    Generating HTML help (CHM)
    Set the Autofit property for a table as Fixed Column Width
    Generate the CHM file
    The table starts as the size specified
    If I resize the width of the HTML help viewer, the column width shrinks
    I tested generating this project as WebHelp with the same results
    I also went into the Table Properties and specified a Preferred Width for the overall table and for each column.
    I thought this option would set the size of the table based on how I sized it in source and would not resize the table as the viewing window is resized (either the HTML help viewer for CHM or the web browser window for WebHelp).
    It appears the actual behavior is to start at the size specified and resize columns as the viewing window is resized.
    Can someone tell me if I am not setting something correctly?
    As always, thanks for any assistance/direction.
    Michael F Weart

    The "Autofit" option apparently only applies to the Window size you have specified.
    Once you reduce the window size, the HTML table protocol takes over:
    WARNING, WARNING, WARNING!
    I need "this much" space for the widest element in column 1, and I don't care what your settings are.
    Next, I need "this much" space for the widest element in column 2, and I don't care what your settings are.
    Next, I need "this much" space for the widest element in column 3, and I don't care what your settings are.
    Next, I need "this much" space for the widest element in column 4, and I don't care what your settings are.
    etc.
    etc.
    By "widest element," I mean either an image or the longest text string with no separating spaces (ex: SYSTEM_DIAGNOSTICS_PARAMETER_EXTERNAL_ISSUER).
    If you absolutely have to maintain the table the way you want, you might try creating it in a scrap topic, taking a screenshot, and saving that as a GIF file.
    Good luck,

  • OSA - Part Appraisal Column Contents not saved

    Hi All:
    We are implementing OSA in ERP 2005.  We have implemented the header access BADI, that lets the employee change the part appraiser during the appraisal process. But when the part appraiser is changed, all the comments entered in the notes by the previous part appraiser is deleted.
    We would like to retain the notes entered by the previous part appraisers ( just like how it works fine for "Appraisers").
    Can we add additional code in the header access BADI to save the notes column and not delete and add a new one.
    Or is there an OSS note.  I looked in the market place could not find one.
    Thanks
    Iliana

    Hello Iliana,
    This is not possible. The reason for it is following. An appraiser is assigned to a document, a part appraiser is assigned to a part appraisal column with an unique part appraisal ID.
    If you replace the part appraiser we perform 2 actions, delete the old part appraiser. Here his notes are deleted. And create a new part appraisal column with a new ID for the new part appraiser.
    We would not have a possibility to display the old notes on the document even if we did not delete them.
    Regards and Groetjes,

  • AdvancedDatagrid column widths not fixed after resize

    This is really driving me crazy. I have this advanced datagrid with 3 columns. The first 2 colums have their width set to a fixed size, the third does not have a width set. The datagrid control itself sits in a container and has his width set to 100%. Initially the containers width is set to 0 (nothing visible). When the resize effect is played on the container (setting the width to a fixed value (ex. from 0 to 300) the first time everything looks OK (datagrid scales to 100% and the first 2 colums have their width correctly set. After playing a resize effect (from 300 to 0) everything is hidden again (the intention). Repeating the 2 resize effects (hide and show) several times in a row changes the width of the 2 columns (randomly). How can I solve this? Both fixed size columns have an item renderer (a checkbox for the first column, a button for the second one). Any help is much appreciated.

    Tried that already at the top level...setting the resizableColumns='false' for the advanceddatagrid and also at column level...setting resizable='false'. Same result

  • Column settings not saved to iPod/iTunes

    Hi all.
    After my iTunes updated to v7.2.0.34, every time i close it and reopen, my iPod window keeps showing original columns. IE, i uncheck columns like Last Played, My Rating and Play Count, then close iTunes, open it back and columns are back again.
    I have used the Restore button for my iPod then sync'ed my entire library again, no success.
    Related soft/hardware: Windows XP Pro/Vista 32-bit, iPod video 5G 60Gb, latest iTunes/Quicktime.
    My other Nano 4Gb do save this information.
    Any clues?
    Regards.
      Windows Vista  

    It's a bug that's been discussed here before. I find it annoying too that I have to keep re-opening things like "show browser".
    Please send Apple a reminder to change this odd behaviour in the next iTunes release.

  • Persistent user customisation not saved for column resize

    Using 11.1.1.1.0 I've configured persistent user customisations via MDS (as per [http://biemond.blogspot.com/2009/07/customize-and-personalize-your-jsf.html]) but I'm having a problem with column customisation. In adf-config.xml I've selected displayIndex, visible and width as persistent attributes on the column tag.
    My customisations are saved from one session to the next (works great!), however changes to the width of a column only seem to be persisted if a further, more significant layout change is made to the table afterwards.
    For instance, if I do the following:
    - Login
    - Resize a column
    - Close the browser
    Then the column width is reverted the next time I log in.
    If, however I do the following:
    - Login
    - Resize a column
    - Re-order a column
    - Close the browser
    Then the column width is saved (along with the new column order) the next time I log in.
    So, it appears that column width persistence is working, but column width changes on their own do not cause a persist operation; an additional layout change is required to get ADF to save the width details.
    Has anyone observed similar behaviour? Can anyone suggest a workaround/fix?

    Hi,
    sounds like a bug that you should file if you can exclude that your configuration is wrong. I checked for known bugs but did not find one that fits to the problem you report

  • How can I modify column width in a spreadsheet report without using an Excel template

    I currently use the LabVIEW Report Generation toolkit in LabVIEW 2011SP1 to create simple spreadsheet reports that I can build/print without having Microsoft Office products installed.  I really like being able to do this, and it allows me to generate nice on-demand data reports - I'm also not tied to having Office installed on the system I'm using, so this works on just about any test fixture I can install the software on.  
    I recently have a requirement that I must have variable-length columns in my report.  I currently use the VI "Append Text Table to Report" in order to create a text table, but the column width requirement is that all columns must be equal width UNLESS I use an Excel Template file to define my column widths.  
    My questions are:
    Is it possible to create a text table and define per-column widths without using an Excel Template?  If so, how?  My report mainly has a lot of small numerical values for the columns, but some columns contain system names or status messages - I really hate the longer text blocks wrapping and taking up so much real-estate when if I could control the column widths I can get all my data on a single line.
    I'll admit I haven't tried this myself yet, but if I use an Excel Template will that require me to have Excel installed on the PC in order to print/generate reports?
    Is there a recommended way (with an example) of generating a text table in a report with or without using the "Append Text Table to Report" VI that allows me to have custom column widths that doesn't require me to manually build a custom print page?  If I do have to create a custom print page, what would be the most straightforward approach?
    Thanks!
    -Danny

    Sure, I'll provide a pared down example that demonstrates my use-case:
    I have a control to the VI that takes in a 2D array of strings representing the data I want printed in a table.  I am generating a standard report, adding a table to the report, and printing it.  The first VI is "New Report.vi", the second VI is "Append Table to Report.vi", and the third is "Print Report.vi", all found standard in the Report Generation palette.
    Note that the "Append Table to Report.vi" has an input parameter "Column Width" with a default value of (1).  This input parameter is a single input parameter, which defines the column widths of ALL the columns in my table - hence, with the VI the way it is, all my columns will be 1 inch wide.  
    I find myself needing to be able to define per-column widths, not just a single global column width parameter.  
    The only way I have found to do this is by using an Excel template file.  The "New Report.vi" takes in a "template" parameter, and if used, the report generation toolkit can be set to ignore the "Column Width" input parameter on the "Append Table to Report.vi" by setting the width value to -1.  Instead it will launch Excel, open the template file provided, build the table using the template, will close Excel, and will attach the generated table to the report.  However, I have a strict requirement that Microsoft Office NOT be required to be installed on the computer.  
    So, without using Excel, is there a way to generate a table in a report and define the width of each column individually?

    You splitted the parent container in two part upper and lower row (2 rows), so you are able to adjust the vertical size, but not the horizontal size (only 1 column)  this size must be adjusted on parent container.

  • Set Column width in query (not using SQL*Plus)

    How can I Set Column width in query
    I understand you can set column width using
    column col1 FORMAT A5
    select col1 from table1;But this only works in SQL*Plus
    I want to be able to do this in a regular SQL query window (not in SQL*Plus), how can I do it.....
    I am using a 'SQL window' in PL/SQL Developer IDE
    and when I use this syntax it says:
    ORA-00900: Invalid SQL statement
    Any suggestions are appreciated...
    thanks,
    M.

    Did you try using RPAD or LPAD functions? They fill the unfilled part of a string with character you provide... either on right or left side depending on what function you use.
    e.g.
    SELECT RPAD('Smith', 10, ' ') Name FROM dual;http://www.adp-gmbh.ch/ora/sql/rpad.html

  • How to set column widths in tables for selected table only, not globally throughout document?

    I've been utilizing the below script (thank you so much Ramkumar. P!) to set column widths throughout a sizable InDesign book with tables on every page and it is truly a time saver. At this point in time, I have three versions of it because there are different column widths throughout the book. Is it possible to augment the script to run only on a selected text frame (containing a table)? If so, would someone be kind enough to share the augmented script with me? I've been trying to figure out this seemingly simple change through trial and error with no success as yet. I realize this is a totally newbie request and I'm entirely at the mercy of the kindness of the Javascript gods that contribute within this forum. Seeing that in a different post related to this script, one such guru responded to a request as simple as "Where do I put the scripts in InDesign" gave me enough courage to ask for some help! Thank you in advance to anyone willing to provide a solution.
      var myDoc = app.activeDocument;
         var myWidths = [100, 100, 150, 150];
         for(var T=0; T < myDoc.textFrames.length; T++){
             for(var i=0; i < myDoc.textFrames[T].tables.length; i++){
                 for(var j=0; j < myWidths.length; j++){
                     myDoc.textFrames[T].tables[i].columns[j].width = myWidths[j];
         alert("Table width updated successfully...");

    Hello all
    I have the same problem in that I'm not a scripting person, but was able to get the above script working without problem, and it does set irregular table column widths perfectly, so thanks to Ramkumar. P for that.
    BUT, it changes the column width for ALL tables in the document, whereas I would like to just target the selected table.
    Any ideas as to how I might amend this script to achieve this?
    Thx, Christian

  • DataGrid column width is not set properly

    Hi,
            In the below example I has called the OptimizeDataGrid method on Button Click event to resize the Column according to the data. First time of the button click event it called the function whereas the Datagrid Column width alone is not set properly.whereas on second time it is working properly.
    For Eg : In the below statement the text value is coming as 55 and widthPadding is comes as 25. but the sum of these two value is not in the dg.columns[col].width.
    dg.columns[col].width = text + widthPadding;
    But the same is working on the second time of the Button click event. is any help me out to resovle this issue. Thanks in Advance.

    With horizontalScrollPolicy="off" (the default), it is hard to control
    column widths because the columns are sometimes overridden to make sure they
    fit on the screen.

  • Why column width will not change

    What keeps the width of a column from being updated or
    altered?
    I have a table that I want to adjust the width. I click the
    column to have it's properties visible and enter a new width in the
    properties panel, but the table remains with it's original width.
    Also, I get Width shown as a percentage and not a pixel
    measurement. Tried changing width attribute property from
    percentage to pixels. Did not work. I right clisked the column to
    "clear width" values. that did not work either.
    Also, drag and drop in design mode and moving the column
    width also has no effect. Is this a version bug?
