Adjust column widths

System Control Table (SCT) : Using the SCT : Changing How Data is Displayed : Adjust column widths

Use any of the following procedures to resize all columns on the current tab; other tabs are not affected.

On the Series Slots tab, this procedure applies to both horizontal and vertical timestep orientation, and only the current sheet is affected.

Many, but not all, column width adjustments are preserved when you save the SCT.

Note: You can also resize individual columns on each tab by dragging the dividers between the column headers.

Depending on the setting in the SCT configuration, column widths may be automatically resized at various times. See Automatically Resize Column Widths to Fit Data for information.
