Can you share more than two columns? I have been able to share two but three does not work.

Hi Amy, yes you can share many columns. In fact, my first "https://youtu.be/fzjSUG2jlyg" WFPro video was on shared columns and it shows you how to build and tear them apart. Thanks, Narayan

are these published somewhere? it would be amazing! It's so confusing searching these threads. We only need to combine 3 columns and I'm following the Advanced reporting instructions that shows how to add 2...can someone explain the concept to add a third? Do you follow the first step by inserting a blank column then recombining? Amy Larson Brandkey

Here's my favorite shared column view for issues that pulls 7 columns of data together in a decent format: column.0.displayname=Issue column.0.sharecol=true column.0.shortview=true column.0.textmode=true column.0.value= column.0.valueformat=HTML column.1.descriptionkey=referencenumber column.1.displayname=Request column.1.isInlineEditable=false column.1.linkedname=direct column.1.listsort=intAsInt(referenceNumber) column.1.namekey=referencenumber.abbr column.1.querysort=referenceNumber column.1.sharecol=true column.1.shortview=true column.1.textmode=true column.1.valuefield=referenceNumber column.1.valueformat=int column.2.sharecol=true column.2.shortview=true column.2.textmode=true column.2.value= column.2.valueformat=HTML column.3.descriptionkey=name column.3.isInlineEditable=false column.3.link.linkproperty.0.name=ID column.3.link.linkproperty.0.valuefield=ID column.3.link.linkproperty.0.valueformat=int column.3.link.lookup=link.view column.3.link.valuefield=objCode column.3.link.valueformat=val column.3.linkedname=direct column.3.listsort=string(name) column.3.namekey=name.abbr column.3.querysort=name column.3.sharecol=true column.3.shortview=true column.3.textmode=true column.3.valuefield=name column.3.valueformat=HTML column.4.sharecol=true column.4.shortview=true column.4.textmode=true column.4.value=

Sorry bout that Onida! We deactivated the old subdomain "communitybeta" which may have screwed with some older links.

Hi Nate, I came across this helpful thread today and wondered if you had moved the text expressions? The link you gave last year no longer works: https://communitybeta.workfront.com/p/do/si/topic=82. I checked out the Resources section but there hasn't been anything added to the Report Templates & Expressions File Base page since last June. Is there a central place for users to share text mode/expressions they've figured out? I added this in the Idea Exchange a few weeks ago but wanted to reach out after coming across this thread. Thanks! Ondina

Quick update for those who are interested in how how display percentage complete as text rather than a graphical bar. Use the following text mode: displayname=percent complete textmode=true valueexpression=CONCAT({percentComplete},"%") valueformat=HTML Thanks go to Anna Khachatryan from Workfront Support for providing this solution.

Hi Scott, Column 19 in my code is the percentage complete column. I have the following: column.19.width=50 I then looked through the rest of the code and saw that column 0 has the a "usewidths=true" entry, so I added the following: column.19.usewidths=true Unfortunately, neither are working for me still. Have you ever tried adding percent complete to a shared column and not had it cover the whole width? Regards, David
November 10, 2016
interesting..i thought that bar was affected by the width of the columns..that it filled up whatever the size of the column.......have you tried to change the width of that column to see if it affects it? In Reply to David Cornwell:
Thanks Doug and Scott. The sort order worked great! However, I wasn't trying to make the percent complete column wider. I actually want the percent complete bar to be narrower, because it is filling the width of the single shared column (see attached screenshot). Not sure if it is going to be possible to do this? That's why I was thinking maybe I can just get the numerical percent value instead of the bar. Any ideas? Cheers, David
