Wrap text in PI Vision table

Wrap long string values (word wrap) in a table so the entire text can appear on the display.

    Thanks for clarifying, Brent and Pete. The feedback item Allow Wrap Text for Asset Comparison Tables in PI Vision best represents the functionality requested. I will update the description on that item to better reflect the request.

    Brent, yes, that is correct, and just verified it with case number 01094880.

    My point is, I'd like the bug back please. I'm confused why they provide the option in one table type and not another, unless you have different developers for each object type, and they don't communicate with each other.

    I'll look thru the Feedback items you've provided.
    Thank you!

    Amit, looking at the screenshots, I think Pete is actually asking about Asset Comparison Tables (ACTs). While they do have word wrap enabled by default, they do not have any way to disable it (either table wide or on a column-by-column basis). I see several feedback items related to text wrap in ACTs, but not sure which is the best fit for Pete's request:

    Allow Wrap Text for Asset Comparison Tables in PI Vision

    Allow header column wrap in Asset Comparison Table

    Wrap text in tables and number formats

    Where do you suggest Pete's feedback be added so it is connected to the correct request?


    Pete, word wrap for all columns is the default behavior for ACTs. The only exception was in PI Vision 2021, which had a bug that disabled it. Please see: Text wrapping not working in Asset Comparison Table (ACT) cells after upgrading to PI Vision 2021.

    Hi Pete - thanks for sharing feedback on the wrap text capability in the Table symbol. In the symbol configuration, you can select columns to show in the table and whether that column should wrap text. Can you clarify what you mean on making wrap text selectable?

    Oh come on...no one saw my comment (maybe it was too late)? Why would you add wrapping and not make it selectable??? One simple check box - wrapping on/off. When we have no control over the content of the cell, if there's lots of text it makes the one row several rows deep, and now only a couple rows show up in the table. Prices are all going up, but product is...

    We would like to have a long text value in an AF Element Attribute, so that we can have it on a display in a context-sensitive manner. Perhaps it could even have embedded HTML formatting ? Including links? I imagine this would require a new 'Text Block' object to place on the display to handle formatted text.

    Wrap text using sizing handles would be helpful.
