Dashboards - Alert View Widget Column Width

Hello, I am trying to create some Dashboards using the Alert Widgets. I am having problems with the column width. The default widths are not useful and take up to much screen space for a dashboard (example" Maintenance mode is really wide just for
a icon). After I create the Dashboard I can adjust the column width just fine, but as soon as I go to another view and come back SCOM forgets how I had it all configured and resizes it back to default. How do I fix this and get it to save my custom widths?
Thanks!

It is because every time you go back to Alert View Widget, it will reload its original configuration. You can modify the orgininal configuration setting by export the MP, contains the Alert view Widget, and modify its XML file.
The column width setting is under
Presentation -> Component Overrides -> ComponentOverrideID -> Bindings -> Binding PropertyID="Columns" -> Complex Value Type(select the coumn which you want to set the column width) --> Binding Property ID="Width" -> SimpleValue Value="12"
( 12 is the new column width)

Finder List View: Maintain Column Width

OSX 10.7.3 - I prefer to use the "list view" option in Finder. With that said, I find it maddening that when I re-open Finder following a session where I had resized the column widths, I have to once again resize column width in order to see the full name of a file (instead of it being truncated.). Is there a way to set up Finder so that the columns stay resized each time I reopen a Finder window.

There's something in your Finder prefs...
I tested that and it works as expected.
Have you tried creating a new account and see how your apps work in that User acct? (That will tell if your problem is systemwide or limited to your User acct.)
Open System Preferences > Accounts > "+" make it an admin account.
If this works, then log back into your problem account and Go to Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences trash these files:
com.apple.finder.plist
com.apple.sidebarlists.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You will have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Prob with fixed column widths and word wrapping in viewer

i have a report where each record has a very long paragraph of text in it.
In desktop and plus, the text column is at a fixed width and the text just wraps nicely according to the column width.
But in Viewer, the column widths do not stay fixed, the text does not wrap, and the long text is displayed in a single line that completely stretches the column width off the page and requires a horizontal scroll bar.
is there anyway to fix the column width in viewer, have the text naturally wrap, and prevent the column stretching. All word wrapping settings are on, but seem to have no effect. I can't seem to find any solution to this.
Thanks...

Hi Pritam,
Per my understanding that you can't see the vertical scrollbar of the ReportViewer controls 2012 to scroll for the grid rows, but can see the vertical scrollbar of the web application, you also can't fix the headers while scrolling, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can't reproduce your issue, but you have an alternative way to add some css to the web form's source code to display the vertical scrollbar.
Details information below for your reference:
Please check below properties setting of the reportviewer which control the visibility of the scrollbar:
AsyncRendering="true"
SizeToReportContent="false"
Please check if this problem also occur on other version of IE and other type of browser.
Please check if you have done correct setting of the Fix data to freeze the table header as the step of below:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb934257(v=sql.100).aspx
If step1 doesn't work, please click the source of webform.aspx and add below CSS to add the vertical scrollbar manually:
#ReportViewer1 {
overflow-y: scroll;
Run the application you will see it display as below:

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,
Leon

Column width in finder LIST view

I am using Yosemite. This issue has been driving me mad for years and try as I may I cannot find the solution.
How do you set a default column width in Finder LIST view for all folders? Whatever I do (for example VIEW OPTIONS, USE AS DEFAULTS) does not work.
Can anybody help? I would use third party plugins if I could find something that controls this. Please note: I am using LIST view NOT column view.
Many thanks

Like Jim, I also generally use Icon view for folders containing images, and have the View Option to show item info selected. Column view will also show image dimensions (both of these work, provided the folder has been indexed by Spotlight).
If you want to see the dimensions, but also want to view the folder contents in List view, the best you can do is bring up the Inspector (Command-Option-i), expand the More Info section, then move down the list using the arrow key. The Inspector pane's contents change with each new selected item, and the More Info section includes the dimensions.

Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view

When my Finder windows open in column view, all the columns are always VERY wide. I have to then spend time resizing them to a managable width. Is there any way to set default column widths in the Finder's Column view?
<Re-Titled By Host>

No, because you can't set a columns view default.

Is it possible to set default column widths in list view when using a finder window in Mavericks?

The default 'document' column is way too wide and forces you eye to track all the way across the screen to read info like "date modified', 'kind' or 'size'.
Tried several times to create a narrower default 'document name' column with no results. Couldn't find anything in preferences or view options. Tried dragging column headers while holding the down the option key with no results.
Every time I open a new finder window, all columns except the 'document' column affixed to the right side of the window. Also, when you grab the bottom right corner of a window to resize smaller, the lists become re-affixed to the right side of the window when opening the window back up.
Experiencing the same problem in Mavericks 10.9.3 on an iMac and Macbook Pro Retina.
Thanks if you've made it this far:)

This was a great place for me to start
Thank you
I took profdant139's suggestions a bit further as my real goal was to have the "Document column" narrower. The goal to be able to see all the other document info that was usually hidden way out to the right
To achieve my results I right clicked in the upper bar with the column names and chose from the drop down box "comments" column (as suggested). I then dragged it to the far right. This pushed all the other columns over.
In the end of the day I ended up adding "Size" and "Date modified" columns as well to get my desired results.
Remember one can move different columns around to be in the order you need by clicking on the column to get it active and then left click and drag it to where you want
Another great thing is that by default (Using Mavericks) the date modified, opened,created columns have date and time. One can shrink them down to xx/xx/xx format by manually adjusting the column width like one does in Excel - click on column separator up top and drag
Once all that is done, at least on my box, I closed it out and opened up a new finder window and everything was as I wanted.

Edit Column Width in Expanded View

I'm not too thrilled about the new iTunes, mostly because of the loss of easy navigation.
My library is full mostly of classical music, and the track names are often very long [eg. "Couperin: Pièces de Clavecin, Onziême Ordre - Les Jongleurs, Sauteurs Et Saltimbanques, Avec Les Ours Et Les Singes"].
The library songs display isn't good for me because it's difficult to keep track of which album one track is a part of, or I'll be looking for something in a specific album which is very difficult to find since each track has its album listing. I liked it before where each album had its array of tracks in one easy bloc.
The difficulty with the albums list is that the text under the albums is cut off before I can see which album it actually is [eg. I see "Bach: Organ Wor...", which isn't good for me because I'm looking for "Bach: Organ Works [Disc 9]"; so in order to find the one I want, I have to count up to number 9. And then when I finally find the right album, I can't distinguish between track names in the expanded view because the columns are too thin to display the often lengthy track names.
It looks something like this in "expanded view":
Say I'm looking for the the Menuetto of Haydn's String Quartet #70 in the album Haydn: String Quartets [Disc 20]:
Album: Haydn: String Quar...
1. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
2. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
3. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
4. Haydn String Quartet #70, Op....
How can I find it when the columns are too thin to display the entire track name?
It seems like the "songs view" and the "albums view" have their own difficulties. So I have two questions:
Is there a way to change the size of the album boxes under "album view"? Now, seven albums fit in one row [in full screen mode]. If I could change it to four albums per row, then I will be able to read the full album names.
Also, in the "expanded view", is there a way to change the width of the columns? If I could increase the column width, then I will be able to read the different track names.
If these things can't be done, then the album view is useless to me, and since the "songs view" is also difficult to use, then this version of iTunes is useless to me and I will have to find another media player.
It's unfortunate that iTunes 11 can be so difficult for classical music listeners, but I'm sure other people have difficulties with this too.
Thanks for the help!
Kind regards,

As far as I know.. no.

Possibility for automatic column width in column view

hi there,
i would like to ask if anybody has an idea to fulfil my desire.
i work in column view in the finder of os 10 and it is not handy that i can not read some of my file names due to the column view.
is there a possibility that the columns change their width automatically? or does anyone knows a shareware to solve this problem.
i want to open a new window and all columns change themselves.
thank you very much. kind regards,
michael

While this isn't a solution, if you double click on the column width adjustment button (under the arrows of the column you are looking at) the column will increase width to fully show the widest name in the column.
However, it would be nice to have a Preference available that would let you choose to always have columns displayed with columns at sufficient width to show full names.
I think this issue is a remnant of a small screen psychology. Large screens are now so prevalent that wide columns would not be a significant issue.

Problems using "Edit Column Widths" feature in List View component

Hello. I'm using a list view component (Xcelsius 4.5 Professional) to display a simple table of text from Excel. I want to adjust the width of the component colums so that all of them fit on the screen at the same time- regardless of how wide they are in the excel columns. The problem is the columns in excel are of variable length; I have no way to predict how wide they will be. The list view component always defaults to the widest column(s) so it ends up pushing some of the columns to the right and I then have to use the scroll bar to see them. I thought the "edit column widths" would allow me to force the column widths in the component (potentially truncating some of the columns), but it does not work that way.
How is the "edit column width" feature supposed to work? What does one enter in the value for each label? Are the units in pixels? When I start entering values I get all kinds of strange behavior...

This was a great place for me to start

Just wondering if there is a way to adjust the column widths in list view?
thanks,

To clarify, I mean the MAX column width. I would like it wider than its current maximum width.
Thanks!

Permanently Widen Finder View Column Width

I am familiar with the method to get a full/wider view of a Finder column when I'm there, but the column width goes back to its original width when the Finder is closed. Any way that anyone knows to set and maintain a wide column view after closing Finder?

It should remain at the size where you left it.
Maybe some fuzz in Finder prefs.
Go to your Finder "Go" menu hold the option key and choose Library. Then go to Preferences folder and trash com.apple.finder.plist
Then, restart, or log out and in again.
(You might have to reset a few finder prefs the way you like them.)

Maintaining the column widths in Columns View.

Is there any way in OS X (Leopard) to have Finder windows remember the column widths when in Columns View. Can dimensions be associated with directories?
I think I must have stretched the 2nd and 3rd columns out from their default to read long filenames 100x a day since I started using Tiger / Panther. There are commercial Finder enhancing apps I've never installed one but if there is one that can do this I am interested.
Thanks In Advance

This worked well for me:
1) Add a Content Editor Web Part
2) Click Source Editor
3) Enter the following code:
[css] <style> .ms-viewheadertr { display: none;} </style> [/css]
4) Select Save
5) Go to Layout and Select 'Hidden'

Changing datasheet view column width prompts for logon

Hello - I have a SharePoint 2010 farm at work that we are having undesirable logon prompts on at times. A reproducible example is the datasheet view of any library in our site. When a user switches from standard view to datasheet view & then resizes
a column, a logon dialogue box pops up. They can enter their username or cancel - either way they are allowed to continue. This occurs the first time the user tries to make a change to the column width, but not on subsequent attempts. If the view is reloaded
& they attempt to change the width again the logon box pops up again. Users only have read-only access to the view, so they cannot modify it. The 'Modify View' control in the ribbon bar is greyed out.
Background info: Clients are using Windows 7 SP1, Internet Explorer 10 (in compatibility view mode), and MS Office Pro Plus 2010 SP2. SharePoint is 2010 SP1 & June 2011 CU V1 (I know, we need to patch). The site is setup to use NTLM integrated authentication.
All PCs are configured via GPO to add the site to the local Intranet zone. The intranet zone is configured via GPO with medium-low settings & automatic logon in the intranet zone. I have verified the GPO propagation to client PCs and verified that
IE settings are correct for windows integrated authentication to take place.
Any help is appreciated

I am thinking this behavior is not by design. In my environment this is what happens:
A standard user (no modify view rights) changes a column width & gets prompted for credentials. It does not matter what they do - cancel, use own credentials, or use someone else's credentials (with modify rights) - the results are the same.
The view is not changed for everyone, just the local user. The change only applies to the current page load.
Users with modify view rights see no logon prompt.
I just installed Office 2013 with my test VM & the unwanted logon prompt is gone. My opinion is this is an unresolved issue with the Access Web Datasheet, 2010-version active-x plugin. It appears to have been fixed with Access 2013.
I'm going to do some more testing, but this is looking like another reason for an upgrade to Office 2013.
I tried changing the compatibility view settings, user agent string, Browser Mode, and Document Mode. None of the different combinations I tried had any effect on the logon prompt issue.
Any other ideas?
thanks

Relative column width

Our company use one OBIEE - dashboard with several tables. The dashboards are watched at different monitors with a different resolutions.
The outlining of the columns is on each screen diffenrent. Is it possible to make relative columns widths so that the outling of the rables is on each monitor the same?
kind regards
Alexander

I have found changing column widths one of the most frustrating aspects of building Dashboards. In the Additional Formatting Options section on the Style tab of the column in Criteria you wish to change, you can add a percentage (relative) or an actual number (absolute) to attempt to control the width of columns. To change where the report appears within a section of the Dashboard -- (which you seem to be talking about from your description) -- you need to change the horizontal alignment. In Results, click on the Format View button and you can play with the horizontal alignment there.
The final suggestion I can offer and I have done this to control how reports appear when they are side-by-side, is to build a "padding" report. Basically, I build a report with just the Narrative View. A dummy column with a CASE statement tricks OBI and putting in HTML spaces creates the "buffer." The more spaces the "wider" the report and the more it "pushes" the other reports to where I want it to appear. (This is especially useful when you have two links, horizontally, on the dashboard and you wish them to appear on the left side (easier to see on smaller monitors). The default puts them too much to the middle of the dashboard, perhaps what you are experiencing. I may be wrong. Query again if you wish more details on how to do this.
