Hi, I have a PV window consists of 5 fields(AddressId, Name, City, State and Phone). In that PV, the length of the Name(Field) is larger than the other fields and i want to reduce the length(Size) of that particular field. So my question is how to reduce the Column length(size) of PV in Dynamics SL 2011. I took one custom PVRec's and altered the data field size. But that does not make sense. Even I have altered the corresponding Stored Procedure and it does not work.

RE: Reduce PV column Size in Dynamics SL 2011

It is my understanding that you have no way to control this. The column width is determined by the greater of the field width and the column header width as defined in the pvrec. If the column header is wider than the field width then the column width is set to 2 characters greater than the column header (to make room for a space in front of and behind the header text). There is no property available to you to control column widths because the PV window is created "on the fly" within SWIM.
