increase the space between 2 prompt columns

2804071Jul 27 2015 — edited Jul 28 2015

As you see in the image, there is no space between the columns while there is a lot off space in the left side. I want to spread out the columns on the whole size of the page

If you inspect the HTML behind the "columns format" of your prompts you will see each columns of prompts his a <td> of a main table. So you can add some custom CSS to change alignment and size of that main table and the 4 <td>.

You can probably also try a less "clean" solution like adding lot of spaces in front of the longer label of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th columns to "push" the others columns a bit more.

There aren't lot of available settings for how prompts must look like, but it's HTML, so with JS or CSS you can change the way it looks like...

I would only advice to not make anything too complicated also because you have the risk the HTML code change with a future release of OBIEE.

Also try to just align the prompts centrally, they will maybe look a bit better with less empty space on the left.

I managed to make checkboxes go horizontal instead of vertical using JS/CSS a while back but unfortunately every time I changed the value in a prompt it would refresh them and not redo my JS. I stopped there because I was doing it more for interest rather than anything else.

@"Daniel Willis" : time to move to 11.1.1.9, horizontal checkboxes / radio buttons are there out of the box (Rittman Mead Consulting » OBIEE 11.1.1.9: New Features for Front-End Developers and Business Users > "Horizontal Layout for Radio Button and Check Box Dashboard Prompts")

To spread out between columns in PROMPTS, is possible to add a character that is not visible but takes up space (normal space is ignored), use alt + 255.

While holding down the alt key, write 255 in the numeric keypad (on the right). Release the alt between each character.
