Layout: Arranging Views to always have equal width/height?

July 31, 2014 4:29AM

When I have say, two rows of four Table views on a page, is there a way of arranging them in such a way that they always preserve their RELATIVE width and height to each other?

Currently, when viewing the page on different screen sizes, there is no telling how the Viewer will resize the Table views. No matter how I arrange them on my machine, on any other screen they will appear misalligned, often to the point of illegibility.

Thanks for any help!

Alex - Are you viewing IOK files in the free Viewer on different screen sizes, or deploying the HTML5/JS version of the interface/layout to a browser running at different screen sizes?

The former. We're distributing the IOK to users internally who all have the free viewer installed. Screen sizes and resolutions are difficult to standardize across the company...

You can try ticking the option 'preserve window size' in the Save as dialogue box, so that reports open in a certain size.

Hi Alexander,

You need to make sure that you have 2 rows with 4 table views inside them. You can see the layout when you drag and drop views. Also make sure that none of views have fixed width/height. To check, go to each view local menu->Tools->Style->"Fix view size".

I also attached an example with 2 rows of 4 table views which will keep the proportional size when resized.

Hi Michael,

thanks, that helped! I was not aware that some of the views had their width or height fixed from previous development. Once I removed the setting they all stayed relative to each other.

Thanks for your help everyone. :)

Welcome!
