Resizing columns and fields

In MainView Explorer, you can resize columns and fields to meet your specifications.

Before you begin

Consider the following guidelines before resizing columns and fields:

  • For data in columns, the specified width controls the width of the entire column (heading and data). For data in fields, the specified width controls the width of the data field only.
  • If a column is not wide enough to display the data, alphanumeric data is truncated from the right, and numeric data is replaced with # characters.
  • Allow enough room in a column or field for bar graph or hexadecimal data if either As graph or As hex is selected for Display Mode.
  • The value for a field cannot exceed 66 characters.

To resize a column in a tabular view

Drag the column’s border to the left or right.

Success

Tip

You can reset the column to its default width by double-clicking the column border.

To resize a column or field

  1. Right-click the column’s header or the field, and select Format data.
  2. In the Width field, specify the width that you want.
  3. Click Apply or OK.
