Change the Number of Table Rows and Columns Used by a Field or Control

You can change the display of information when you increase or decrease table rows and columns used by a field or control.

In some cases you may want a field or control to span more than one table cell. For example, if you add an incident subject line to a workspace with three columns in the table, the subject line will be only one column wide, too narrow to display much information. By spanning the field over multiple columns, you can expand the field to display the full content of the subject line. You can also span an item over multiple rows if you want it to expand vertically.

Note: In order to span an item over multiple columns or rows, there must be empty table cells adjacent to the cell containing the item you are expanding.

1. From an open workspace or script, click the field or control that you want to edit on the design space.
2. Click the Design tab.

   The number of rows and columns the selected table cell occupies is shown when selecting row and column span options.
