FAQ

Can I set an exact numeric column width?

  1. On Android, the current workflow uses manual dragging to resize the column width.
  2. In table view, press and hold the right edge of the field header, then drag left or right.
  3. If needed, make small adjustments several times until the display looks right.

Why does the column width not change when I drag?

  1. First, make sure you are already in table view.
  2. Check whether you are pressing the right edge of the field header instead of the middle area.
  3. Drag left or right again and watch whether the target column changes.

Is the updated column width saved automatically?

  1. After you finish dragging and release, the updated width is kept in the current view.
  2. Open the same view again later to check whether the previous setting is still applied.
  3. If you drag again later, the newer result replaces the earlier one.

How can I make long field content easier to read?

  1. Find the field column that contains longer content.
  2. Drag the right edge of that field header to the right to increase the visible width.
  3. You can also narrow secondary fields to leave more room for the most important column.
