Controlling column width and sort icon in a scale to fit screen

Posted on by Reinier

Hi all,

I have a table in my canvas app for which each column can be sorted by clicking the sort icon next to the column name. However, I manually aligned to icons. The screen is scale to fit thus when the published app is opened the icons don't align with the columns (see image 2). Is there a way to get the column width as variable so I can create a formula to align the icons? Or is there another option for aligning the icons to the columns?

I already tried to enter the column width with a formula but different screen will still adjust these settings. Moreover, users are always able to change the width by dragging it. The "can grow" property of the table does not seem to solve this solution.

Your help is much appreciated! 🙂

You can simply change the Auto-Width property of the Data Table to this

false

Thankyou, but I already tried that and it does not seem to work since I have enabled the scale to fit screen property of the canvas app.
Moreover, users are still able to manually adjust the columns which cannot be turned off to my knowledge.

I solved it with a gallery instead of a table which works better. Thank You nevertheless!
