The size of the input fields in the filter-form screen component is currently determined by the size of the component itself. When the filter-form screen component takes up a small portion of the screen, the field-size of the fields in the component will be shortened to fit the limits set to the component. When using a filter condition the text inside the field gets cropped up to a point that it is hard to identify a filter condition (as shown in the screenshot down below).

The only solution I see at the moment is to sacrifice page-design, and increase the size of the filter-form component as a whole.

It would be ideal to be able to edit the field-sizes inside the filter-form component independently, so that it is not necessary to sacrifice page-design to increase user friendliness.

Hi Raymond,

Currently the Filter form in the Windows GUI listens to the Form width of the fields to a certain extend. This means that the width of these fields will be the same in the Form as in the Filter form.

An example can be seen here in the Software Factory, where the Sequence no and the Absolute order no fields are made smaller than the usual width. That is also reflected in the Filter form:

Filter form

So the workaround is to ensure the Form fields are wide enough in the Form.

 

In Universal GUI, the filter form will be visually different from what the Windows and Web GUI presented us with. This new filter form will most likely not listen to set Form fields.

Shall we close your idea?

Good to hear that the Universal GUI will give a different visual representation on this screen component!

You can close the idea :)
