ABAP CDS VIEW list report - Optimizing column width

[former_member700233]

Hey guys,

I am building a fiori list report app with ABAP CDS VIEW. The cds view uses sorting, grouping and aggregation annotations, therefore the type of the table is Analytical.

When running the app from SAP WEB IDE I have this result:

I would like to know if there is a way we can optimize the column width, so that the width depends on the content of each field? A functionality that for now, I have it only if I double click on each column separator.

My manifest.json file of the app looks like this:

Thanks 🙂

Hi,

Use different table type in manifest.json file. Below is an example.

"list": true,

"settings": {

"tableType": "ResponsiveTable",

"smartVariantManagement": true,

"condensedTableLayout": true

}

table type can be as below. Responsive table type adjusts column width accordingly.

• ResponsiveTable
• GridTable
• AnalyticalTable
• TreeTable

Hi,

Thanks for your reply!

I tried your suggestion but when changing the table type to "ResponsiveTable" I am allowed a single level grouping only. I need to group the data by more than one field, therefore I cannot use the Responsive table.

Raya - thank you; your post was very helpful.

This didn't appear to work for me when I changed the table type to ResponsiveTable.

Abhishek,

I don't want to set the width of each column individually, I want all the columns to be optimized. Shouldn't that be the default behaviour?

It really makes for bad usability for Grid-table, when you don't see some of the columns, instead you see a lot of empty spaces in the first couple of columns.

Looping through each column and setting them optimized in an extension to a List Report template is not really ideal.
