Launched: Control Column Width in Table & Pivot Table :pinching_hand:

Notes: This feature is only available when editing Canvas Dashboard.

Previously, tables and pivot tables in Canvas Dashboard automatically expanded to fill the entire container width. Sometimes, this leads to excessive whitespace and removes the focus on important information.

:bulb: What’s new?

You can now adjust the width of individual columns in your Table and Pivot Table. How it works:

  • By default, tables and pivot tables still expand to fill the full width of their container.
  • When editing dashboards, you can control column widths by directly dragging the column borders. The new widths will be saved, ensuring your tables and pivot tables maintain a consistent look across all views.

This isn’t working for me.

I also can’t seem to make this work. When I adjust the column widths while editing a canvas dashboard, it does not activate the “Commit changes” button. I would expect that button to turn blue like it does when I slightly move a widget. When I refresh the page, the columns go back to their original widths.

This feature will really help us once we have it working! Even better would be if we could optionally make the column headers wrap!

Hi @Nikhila_Krishnan and @Becca_Perry,

We have identified some bugs with the feature and have temporarily disabled it while we work on a fix. I’ll keep you updated on our progress and let you know as soon as it’s available.

Thank you for your patience.

Was just going to say the same - not working for me. Should be great when it launches!

Hi @Nikhila_Krishnan, @Becca_Perry, and @Alex_H,

Good news! The issue has been resolved, and the feature should be working again :smile:

Could you please check and confirm?

Thanks!

@Theodore_NT It appears to be working for me! Thanks! Any plans to be able to set the text of Column Headers to wrap instead of being cut offer? That would allow me to set some of my columns narrower and see more info at once.
