Columns' Widths for Standard and Custom Related Lists

By default, the columns' widths of standard and custom related lists are spread evenly along the working area. Customize column width if needed.

The actual metadata is required to successfully apply the settings. For more information, go to Metadata Archive and Metadata Checker.

Important Notes

Please read the best practices for the Sync Recovery setting.

  • The 0 value means that the column is not affected by width setting, i.e., it will occupy the rest of the working area.

  • The 100 value means that the column will squeeze out all the other columns from the working area.

  • If the total sum of values is greater than 100, then the columns' widths setting is not applied to the related list.

  • If the total sum of values is less than 100, the rest percentages are divided into the number of columns and added to the width value of each column.

  • If the setting is applied only to some columns, and the total sum of values is less than 100, the rest percentages are spread evenly among the non-configured columns.

  • The setting can take a value of an integer between 0 and 100. If this requirement is not met, the setting is not applied.
