The older postings show this as implemented in pre-14.7 versions of the dashboards. It is apparently not imiplemented in the current version of the dashboards. See the screen shot above.

Request:

      Word wrap column headers in dashboard reports.

 

Current functionality:

      The column headers showing the tracked value can be truncated.

 

Business impact:

      If you have multiple items in a trended report the values being reported on can be unintelligible, making the reportlet useless. There appears to be no work around.

James - can you post some more details here so that we know exactly what bothers you about the new format?

Really? I have an outstanding incident that says the headers are in fact worse in 14.7 dashboards than 14.6

You'll notice that the new dashboard reportlets have much clearer metric headers. I think that solves this problem.

Right, then it's part of this one - Totally agree it's real pain: IDEA: Add Reports to DB's as defined by Users

Yeah, I saw that, but this isn't the same thing.  I'm referring to a side effect of sticking a report into a dashboard reportlet. The metric columns wrap the text correctly in the report itself, but they don't wrap and are cut off when put into the reportlet.
