The text in a column cannot be seen when the column is too tall (or long)

[Rick Dee]

Hi,

My programmer try to display a table with multiple columns. Due to some columns have very long text in it, the column height becomes "tall". Some columns only have one word in it. As a result, those columns that has only one word in it, the word cannot be seen (or hidden) when user scroll the table.

Thanks

Hi chang-gin_dee,

 

Normally, the first values of a cross table (on the vertical axes), should always be shown. Are these values in your case empty

 

Kind regards,

David,

 

Thanks for your reply. The value is actually there in the column, but when we scroll the table up and down then the value does not adjust itself so that it is visible. Ended up it was hidden.

Hi  chang-gin_dee,

 

Do you mean that the values are not visbile at all anymore, even if you scroll to the top I have tried to reproduce the issue, but I can always go back to the top and see my year/quarter values. I do miss out on these values when scrolling though.

 

What version of Spotfire are you on

 

kind regards,

David,

 

The version that we are using is 10.7.

 

If I scroll the column all the way to the top, yes, I can still get the value. But it is so inconvenient. This is definitely not user-friendly at all. Furthermore is we have several columns that behave in such a way, we can't expect the user to remember all the values of those columns where the values will go disappeared once they started to scroll.

 

In addition, if they start to do some filtering changes, then they have to scroll all the way back to the top just to make sure they get the setting correct and then scroll back down again to get the row that they are looking for.

 

Kind regards,

 

Rick

Hi Rick,

 

Yes, I see what you mean. I haven't found anything for vertical scrolling (like freezing row headers). I would suggest you creae a cse for this, at our support.tibco com site.

 

Kind regards,
