Question

Are you struggling with multiple columns on a report and would like to substitute some of the fields with flags?

I recently encountered a challenge when redesigning some of my reports. Namely, some of them contain too many columns to make data legible.

Given the simplicity of content in some of them I figured I will substitute some of the fields with flags.

Problem appeared, I couldn't find a way to keep all the flags in one line.

Luckily I finally make this working with wrapping my "flag fields" with 2 extra columns that would overlay display with a bit of HTML.

Openning column (bolded crucial piece):

column.12.displayname=Details

column.12.sharecol=true

column.12.shortview=true

column.12.textmode=true

column.12.value=<span style="display: inline-block">

column.12.valueformat=HTML

Closing column:

column.16.shortview=true

column.16.textmode=true

column.16.value=</span>

column.16.valueformat=HTML

Result

Sharing this with community, hopefully this will make it easier for others

Love this, used this. Thanks for sharing!

I just wish there were more local icons available, because I can't link to most external urls, but colored dots will work for now.

Looks nice! Thanks for sharing!

Just for the inspiration, I'm wondering what information you are showing with the flags.

e.g.

phone call icon - when requestor asked explicitly for conversation before work start, value is set to yes, and flag turns green

description icon - with hover over function, so that user don't need to open task details, but can quickly preview the description straight from the report

last note icon - again hover over to check last posted update to quickly catch up on current status of the task

Hi Rafal,

That sounds pretty neat. Could i see the text mode section for the description and/or last note to show the hover over?
