Table View | Allow wider columns than 800px
Hi,
if table view becomes the new default view in Wrike, please OBLIGATORY allow column widths with more than 800 px, cause 800 px are way too restricting. Only because SOME devs do think that 800 px are enough, it's NOT the way how real users are using Wrike ...There are two big reasons why this is absolutely necessary:
1) READABILITY:
=> Sometimes titles are quite long and need to be fully readable. 800 px is too narrow quite often.
=> And no, here on our end, it's not an option to make the titles shorter. It makes sense how those titles are used now in our SOPs ...
2) UX-DESIGN & WHITESPACE:
=> And another reason, why we should have more than 800 px available, is a UX reason. From a UX point of view, it makes sense that information has more breathing room. This way it's easier to read and easier to understand. This is for example the reason why whitespace in webdesign makes sense. It means for Wrike: Allow us to make columns wider than 800 px (FREE pixel width should be available!!!). This way we can for example make title columns wider and give the corresponding information more breathing room!
Thanks, Michael
Yes please!
Hi Michael Pucher, thank you for the feedback. More flexible column width settings would definitely help with readability, and I will forward this suggestion to our team. Regarding your first point, would enabling text wrapping help in this case?

Hi,
yes, it would help massively in daily work with Wrike. As it it now, it's really not funny to work with table view, cause of the small max-col-width. I would really appreciate if this could be changed.
To answer your question:
No, text wrapping would not help at all, because it makes tables even more messy. To achieve a pleasant UX all rows need to be ONE line rows ... not one row is one line, next row is two lines, then again one line, then again two lines => this would be horrible to work with!
Got it, Michael Pucher! That makes sense. I mentioned it since it could be helpful for others. I will definitely pass on your feedback to our product team. Thank you! 😊
