Better visibility for long field names in the objects pane

haskia — Sun, 14 Feb 2021 15:31:57 GMT

I'd like to add an idea for better visibility of long field names and master items such as
Sales on Target North Europe (USD)
SomeProductName Market Share (%)
10.2.4.1 KPI - Cost of Goods Sold (Previous Year)

Usually the most relevant information can be found at the end of the description text, when creating Master Items. In the current object list view this piece of information is often clipped off due to the fixed width. The full text can only be retrieved by hovering over or clicking through multiple items in the list until you find the one you are searching for.

I think many Qlik app designers know the frustration of having to duplicate items that start with the same text and getting lost between your duplicates and therefore editing the wrong field.

There are simple solutions to this problem and I want to suggest two:

Implement line-breaks and word-wraps for field names.
We have added some CSS to our custom Sense Theme to realize this feature.
Since everything is reactive you could simply make the object pane width resizable.
(This feature would be nice in other parts of the application too, e.g. Data Load Editor)

I have checked and this issue exists in all versions of Qlik Sense: , , .

Looking forward to hear your opinions on this.

A great suggestion - and your two screenshots look brilliant to explain it
