For the grid layout in new portal, can we have the option to: 1. Adjust/set a default column width for each field 2. Set a default row height for the grid layout This is improve readability, especially when there is many columns displaying The row height also come in handy and allows data/text to wrap ( Similar to the gird view in old extensions ) ![Snag_1adfa76](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex035/uploads/miniextensions/original/1X/c6e8b1aae011d5c4c01702ee73f01706493e0eb4.png) ---

Thank you for your feedback Jamie! I’ve created tickets for the height and width. We’ll try to get them out as soon as we can. ---

The lack of column width adjustment/control is specifically holding my organization back from switching to the new portal tool. I would add some options/notes about implementation: 1. Grid view needs a “fit to window” option. Rather than requiring me to define specific widths per column, It should let me force the grid to the available width (with some maximum limit, like 1100px) and word wrap cell content as necessary to make it fit. And then users can adjust specific columns within that window width/ 2. If then want to define a specific width for a column, it should be in percentages rather than pixels. ---

Thank you for your feedback! I’m not sure I understand what you mean by “fit to window”. If you can explain this with a video, that would be very helpful. ---

Hi Abdul – The problem is that adding additonal columns to the grid causes horizontal scrolling, which is very user-unfriendly. So what I’d like is the ability to set the width of the grid to a percentage of the browser window width – so “fit to window” means the grid “fills 100% of the available horizontal space in this browser window and no further.” In CSS, I think that’s _100 vw_? That would mean that each additional column gets squeezed into the browser width rather than causing horizontal scrolling. D ---
