Allow to adjust the column width in the interactive reports

christian.venegas Internal · Sep 3 2021

Idea Summary
Make possible to adjust the width column in the interactive reports. Sometimes the width for the information shown in the column is too big and this gives a bad look.

Use Case
Sometimes the width of the columns is bigger than the information showed, this gives a bad look. It would be nice to be able to adjust this width like the Interactive grid columns

Preferred Solution (Optional)
Within the column formatting region, enable an option to set the value for the column width

This is currently on the roadmap for a future release of Oracle APEX.

    Column formating. HTML Expresion:

    <span style="display:block;width:20px;font-size:80%"</span>#NAME#

  • jayson hanes Admin OP 2.9 years ago

    If you want to go that route, define an [in-line] page class first, so it's more compact across multiple columns:

    .c20 {
display: block; width: 20px; font-size: 80%;
}

    then define the HTML expression:

    <span class="c20">#NAME#</span>

    it would be nice to not only allow ability for a developer to change width in the builder without use of CSS but also give the user the ability to resize columns in interactive reports on end-user pages much like you can do with the interactive grid layout.

    It's been more than 3 years since the idea was proposed, and it's still on the roadmap?

  • vincent morneau Admin OP 3 months ago

    Yes we realize some ideas have been sitting in the roadmap for too long. This is partly the result of reviving this app which accumulated a decade of customer ideas. Our challenge is find a balance between actioning popular ideas, valuable ideas regardless of popularity, while aiming for a high volume of delivered ideas to keep this app flowing and useful.

    The roadmap ideas is a reflection of what the APEX team thinks is worth doing. It is not a commitment on timeframe and the roadmap is subject to change over time. This situation is clearly not desirable and we will discuss how best to handle it going forward.

    Thanks for your feedback, Vincent. The Interactive Report is indeed one of Oracle APEX's flagship components, possibly even one of the most frequently utilized. Implementing this idea would significantly enhance numerous real-world use cases. For example, it is quite common that link columns positioned at the beginning of an Interactive Report appear unnecessarily stretched, resulting in an awkward visual appearance, despite not requiring much width. Allowing developers or end-users the ability to adjust column widths directly would greatly improve user experience and overall presentation.

    Thanks, yes, I agree with this: Allowing developers or end-users the ability to adjust column widths directly would greatly improve user experience and overall presentation.
