Enable Wrap Text and Direct Column Width Adjustment in Gantt Columns

Hi,

Wrap Text
I would like to propose to enable wrap text in Gantt columns as often the task name, planning mode and resource name text is relatively long which in some cases (e.g. a number of resources full name assigned to a task) even the largest column width value '500' is insufficient to show all the text in a column. Moreover, it is difficult to display all the commonly required columns in the screen area with the column width set to the required width to show the long text fields.

Direct Column Width
I would like to propose to enbale direct column width adjust by clicking and holding on the column boarder line to drag to the desired width, in addition to current width input in the column to display list. It is more intuitive and user friendly as users do not need to guess the value to input to change the column width. Moreover, could you explain more on the column width value definition? It seems to be different from the current explanation in the user manual. 

Thanks,
Rainbow

Hi,

Thanks for your reply. It's good to know that direct column width for object list is on V9.1 and in the future on Gantt charts. I also would like to suggest to enable drag to rearrange columns order (as available in V9.1.1 object list), also to sort and filter directly on the columns (object list, Gantt etc.). Current advanced filter is good for complex filtering which I much appreciate, while for simple filter I suggest to enable at the column headers for better user experience. Moreover, the sort ability is important as well for better visualization and reporting. For example, sort by project/task start date so that the Gantt item and bar will be in the order from the current to future project/task.

For wrapping text, understood the limitation of strictly fixed line height for now.

Thanks,
Rainbow

 

Hi,

Thanks for your reply.

I saw that sorting by clicking on the column headers of object list is now available in V9.1.1 which is great, but I cannot perform filter by clicking on the column headers. Is there any settings required?

Thanks,
