Auto resize columns

Has anyone else notice a new “Auto resize columns” option in grid overflow menus? We just noticed this in our pilot environment a few days ago, but we don’t see it in our production environment.

We are on 2024.2.12 in both environments, so could it be related to some permissions or security setting? We are trying to figure out how to enable this in our production environment.

I see it in both Live and Third and I love it.

That’s great! We will definitely have to keep looking into why only a select few users have access to it.

I just noticed that a couple of days also, it would be nice if it had a max size because my grid had some very long text fields and those columns just totally blew up

Oh wow I hadn’t noticed that option before but its been much needed for some of the dashboards we’ve converted from classic. Saves me from having to go into application studio and add a new layer.

I did see in the “Preview Features” there was a new option for Auto-size grid columns. I tried turning it off an on but didn’t see a difference so I put it on the list of things to look into.

It doesn’t appear to hide/add the option you mentioned in the overflow menu but I wonder if its still related in a way.

We have the option available even with it turned off in preview :woman_shrugging:

Same, I wonder what it actually does then. I didn’t see anything in EpicWeb or EpicCare for this specific preview feature. Do you know where they announce the details for them?

Just confirmed with two other users, they do not see the “Auto resize columns” option in the overflow menu but I do. Must be permission related somewhere. Also, they do not have the preview features section.

We reached out to Epicor regarding this and learned that Security Managers can enable the features by selecting “For this company” in the “Preview Features” section. Once this is enabled for the company all non-security users should be able view the “Preview Features” section and enable the feature themselves.

In the area where you can turn on preview features, do you have the ability to change the dropdown from “For me” to “For this company”?

Oh cool, I do see the option to turn on preview features for the company. Thanks!

I literally found it yesterday because of this feature.
