Changing the Width of a Column or Field

You can change the width of columns and fields to make them wider or narrower. (For example, you could change the width of the second_id column in the borrower record from twelve to eight spaces.)

To change the width of a column or field

1 Open the view for the window with the columns or fields for which you want to change the width.

(For instructions on opening the correct view, see Finding and Opening the Correct View.)

2 Click Page Down or resize the window to display the List View group or Edit View group of the window you are reconfiguring.
3 Choose the column that you want from the List View or Edit View drop-down list.
4 In the No. of Display Characters field, enter the number of characters that you want this column or field to use.

For a column in a list window, the number you enter in this field is the number of characters that displays from the database column. For a field in an edit window, the number you enter determines the width of the field. Higher numbers make the field larger and lower numbers make the field smaller.

5 Save your changes.
6 Exit Horizon and log back in to view your changes.
