All,

I have a DAI report that I want to change the width. Basically I want to shrink it (the grid and/or the cells) so that I can see 2 or three of these reports when I'm creating a dashboard. Each 'bubble' is just a data element that I put style sheets against so they are really just data elements in the grid. I've tried hacking into the css behind the scenes but I'm not getting the right object. Is there a way to do that?

Also, when these columns shrink does DAI wrap the contents of the cells?

Thanks,

Jeff

Hi Jeff,

Cool report idea!

There is an option to set the TABLE element WIDTH on the LIST tab (next to Auto-preview) - and it will apply - however I think there is too many other CSS attributes that kicks in nowadays for this to have impact.

If you combine with detail column level WIDTH and allowing WRAP (see attached) then I can get my table shrinked to its content.

Please let me know whether you can get that to work?

Best regards,
Carsten

Carsten,

Thanks for the reply. that didn't work for me. Not exactly sure why but I think I have a pseudo solution. I've included the javascript below for the graphs. It's a bit clunky but it works, I've included it for others in case they need it (see below). If you think there is a better way, please let me know. I'm still working on other parts of this report but it's pretty cool so far.

Thanks,

Jeff

i = 0;
myObj = eval('$(".DETO")[' + i +']');
while (myObj)
{
myObj.style.width="390px";
myObj.style.whiteSpace = "normal";
i = i + 1;
myObj = eval('$(".DETO")[' + i +']');
}

i = 0;
myObj = eval('$(".DET")[' + i +']');
while (myObj)
{
myObj.style.width="390px";
myObj.style.whiteSpace = "normal";
i = i + 1;
myObj = eval('$(".DET")[' + i +']');
}

Hi Jeff,

Thanks for sharing your solution!

I think it should be possible without javascript - but I'm not 100% sure without seeing the actual report definition / HTML and CSS involved.

We can follow up on it next time I log onto your system. I look forward to see the solution in action I think it is a great data-source / design for making reports a little less "boring"!

Best regards
Carsten
