Setting Column Width

Administrators can set column width using settings on the Layout tab for data forms. Column width settings apply to each data form page:

Small: Displays columns 50 pixels wide, enough for approximately seven decimal places.
Medium: Displays columns 75 pixels wide, enough for approximately ten decimal places.
Large: Displays columns 100 pixels wide, enough for approximately thirteen decimal places.
Size-to-Fit: Automatically sizes the column width to fit the widest content in a heading or data cell.
Custom: You can enter a pixel width value of up to 999.
Default: The column width is defined at the grid level.

If a column width is selected that is less than the width of the column contents, the excess data is hidden until the column is widened. While the data is hidden, it is stored and calculated in the same way as displayed data.

You can adjust column width while viewing a data form, regardless of the column width setting in the data form properties. To save the adjusted column width for the remainder of your session, save or refresh the data form.

When you print from the data entry page, the columns print at the width defined in preferences. See Setting Preferences for Printing Options.

In data forms, you can perform the tasks in the following table:

Task	Action
