Changing Column Width in the Report Writer

Sometimes, the default column width in a report might be too small for your date. For example, if you have an event with a long name, the contents of the Event column might cause all the rows of your data to take up too much space.

 

Long event names can make rows too tall

 

To change the width of a column, follow these steps:

  1. At the far top right of the report, click the Fields tab. Field information for the report will be displayed.

The Fields tab is at the far right of the screen

  1. In the panel on the right, follow these steps:
  • Hover the mouse over the field you want to work with. In this example, we will change the size of the Event field.
