Reports 6i default column widths

Reports 6i does not appear to pull the correct column width for varchar2 columns when building reports through the wizard. It sets them to 10 regardless of the length.
Is there a way to either always define a specific database column to a specific width in reports or to get reports to size the column correctly through the wizard?
Thanks

Thanks for the quick answer Jay! I tried the latter approach and it didn't work.
Given my limited understanding of CSS I first researched what the # signifies and found that it precedes a value from an ID attribute of an element. Which makes sense because this override would need to know specifically what to adjust.
Next I scanned the source and couldn't find an ID of portletColumnFormatter_0 the closest thing I found was a summary field (summary="Portlet column formatter table.").
Edit: Hmmm...
A quick scan of portal.bea.com shows that ID does in fact exist there but it appears that site is on version 6.5.0
Was this ID value missing in an earlier install version perhaps?
Edit: Aha!
Yet a few moments later I realized my err...our dev environment is still on 6.1.0 which, if memory serves, was missing this key attribute!
It appears my first priority should be to syncrhonize our two environments and THEN worry about customizations.
Thanks again for the help, I'll refer back to this as soon as I'm upgraded:)

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?

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

Default column width in pixels? - Numbers app

I find the pixel count hard to see until i've moved my finger, does anyone know the default column width in pixels in the Numbers iOS app?

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.
Thank you for the help from the above helper to get me here

Changing File-Open Default Column Widths

In Word and other applications I find I want the column widths to be wider (and stay wider) than the default.
Someone on Mactopia said he was able to do the following:
1) Open Word
2) Use File>Open
3) Adjust the window to your taste
4) Select and Open a document
5) Quite Word immediately on command Q
Word is displaying a Finder window for that dialog. You need to hit an
action button to make Word store the settings (in other words, you need to
actually open a file).
You then need to Quit Word to force it to SAVE the new settings.
However, I found this did not work. He replied:
Hmmm... Munged preferences is the problem: but which ones, I wonder? The
change you make is not being saved. It is on my system. I just opened and
quit Word three times to make sure the change held.
OK, quite word and try re-naming your Normal template, and any file with
"word" in its name in your ~/Library/Preferences/Microsoft folder.
When you re-launch Word, the files will be rebuilt. If this fixes the
problem, great, If it doesn't, the size is being held in a Finder
preference (the Word File>Open dialog is actually an Apple Finder window)
but I have no idea which one.
Any ideas about this?
Thanks.

Default column width in Address Book

When I compose a new message in Mail and call up the Address Book, the first column containing the groups is always very narrow. I can widen it manually and it stays wide for the session, but the next time I start Mail, it shows up narrow again. Is there a way to set the default width of the Address Book columns?

Greetings,
The width of columns in the Address Book pane in Mail can only be changed on a per-session basis; after you quit Mail, they will revert to their original values. There is no way to set the default width of columns for Address Book.

Interactive Report Column Width adjustable?

I am using the interactive reports in 3.1.2 and love them. That said, I have a question/problem. I have a column in my report that is essentially comments. It often contains hundreds of bytes of text per row of data. When I use the interactive report I find no where that I can define a default column width or number of report rows to display. So, when I run the report, the column with the comments defaults to a column width of about 25 characters and this causes it to display many html rows for this report row and makes the report very ugly.
Does anyone know if there is a way to redefine a column in an interactive report to prevent this?

Scott,
Using FOP.
Standard reports PDF can resize columns.
Interactive report does not. Additionally, the page size does not work the same as the regular reports. Moving between landscape and portrait changes the size of the height and width.
I assume there are several problems.
1. The report does not resize horizontally. I will have to create a second report to see if I can duplicate the issue.
2. The Print page of the report region does not have the same fields as the regular reports. I am not sure why or how to overcome the lack of being able to resize columns, etc.
3. The functionality on the page does not seem to all work. At least not the same way as the regular reports. Changing paper size and orientation are two examples I have verified.
4. Can't select a template. How can a different XSL-FO template be used?
I am going to try and push it to Word.

New to portal: Setting the column width in portal QBE report

I'm trying to set different widths to different columns in the QBE report. One of the columns in the report contains long descriptive text. With the default column width the reports runs into many pages and user has to scroll a lot. I would like to set the column width for this column so that it does not wrap for every 2/3 words. In the customization tab, I'm setting the width type to "Char" and selecting the number of characters to be displayed in that coulmn. Percent/pixel width type also didn't help. Should I set the Header width also?. I'm not sure where to set this header column width.QBE report just ignores these customization parameters and displays the report in default format. Please let me know if you have any idea/solution to this problem.
Thanks

How to controll column width in report ?

Dear All,
i have created Classic Report but here Column width is too large.
i want to controll column width in report .
How can i do this..
Thanks

Hi Vedant,
There are two possibilities in your case.
1.width of your column heading is too large.
include break in your column heading
for ex .. column heading is employee department number then write it as *[Employee(br)Department(br)Number]* // replace ( with < and ) with > in br
2) Value is too large
Go to Report Attributes->edit your column->column formatting->css style
In CSS style put this display:block;width:100px;white-space:wrap
Hope this will helps you,
Thanks,
Jitendra

Change column width for print table to report

Hi, want to make the first column in my table to be printed to report wider than the rest, for it contains the part numbers of about 16 chars and the other columns are the data of 4 each. Don't want to make all equally wide for I want to fit as many column as possible over the page. How can I do this?? Thanks for any help. Is there maybe another way to print in a table format?? Madri

Hi Madri,
Assuming you are using the Standard Report type with the Report Generation VIs, you can check out this KnowledgeBase entry that discusses how to customize the VI to generate a report with different column widths:

How can i Auto Size the Column width in RDLC Report

Hi Friend's,
I have created Windows application with RDLC Report. I am binding(Generating) dynamic columns and data's in RDLC Report Using Matrix control, I need to make Auto size of Column width for each Column in
Matrix of RDLC report. So Can any one suggest me to make the Auto Size of Column Width in RDLC.
Thanks in Advance,
Mohan G

Hi Mohan,
In Reporting Services, the column width/height is hard-coded, hence, we cannot set the column width/height dynamically or based on an expression. So is the report size.
In addition, since it is a RDLC report, we need a ReportViewer control to display this report within a custom application. If you need to change the size of the whole report, we can set the AsyncRendering property of the ReportViewer control to false, and
set the SizeToReportContent property to true.

Setting Total Column width in Cross Tab report

I am having an issue with the width of the Total Column in a Cross tab report. I have set the width of the column and saved the report but when I am reopening the report the Total column width is expanded but rest of the data column width remains the same (which I saved). Any idea how to adjust the total column width?
TIA,

Did you ever solve this?

Setting Reader Column Width?

Anyone have any idea how Reader determines the column width it displays? For my blogs, it cuts off all my photos, because they're wider than Readers default column width.
Look, for example at this page:
http://www.ultrasomething.com/photography/2010/03/that-golden-glow/
If you click the READER button, every photo has its right side chopped off by Reader viewer.
Anyone know if this is something fixable (short of recoding all my articles to fit Reader's column width)?
Thanks.

HI,
I see what you mean.
Not sure if that is "fixable" or not but go to the Safari Menu Bar and click Safari/Report Bugs to Apple.
Reporting bugs is a good way to get glitches fixed.

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.
