Kristi Carter Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Within the Business View we would like to be able to force multiple lines in the DESCRIPTION field in the properties. Does anyone know if this can be done, and if so, how Below is what it looks like when reviewing in creating a report. We would like it to show more like this: Technical: (TTL_OUTSTD_RSRV_AMT* EFF_RELIAB_F) - TTL_OUTSTD_RSRV_AMT Business: Additional Case Reserve - Case Reserve Thanks, Kristi Carter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Morris 2 Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Have you tried using the comma, similar to what it shows youve done with the Title Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCBabak . Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Im not sure if you can add a CR/LF to the DESCRIPTION attribute. Heres what the doc says but it doesnt mention if splitting the text is or isnt possible. Maybe you can add Escape Codes or HTML syntax but that seems a little too much work to accomplish this. DESC[RIPTION] = text where: DESCRIPTION Can be shortened to DESC. Abbreviating the keyword has no effect on its function. text Is any string of up to 2K (2048) characters. If it contains a comma, the string must be enclosed within single quotation marks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Carter Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 I tried the comma. Good thought, however it didnt work. Thanks for the suggestion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Fosnaugh Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 I used < br > and it appears to work. In your case it would be Technical: (TTL_OUTSTD_RSRV_AMT* EFF_RELIAB_F) - TTL_OUTSTD_RSRV_AMT<br>Business: Additional Case Reserve - Case Reserve The output looks like: multiple lines.png1031298 25.2 KB You can go ever further by adding more HTML like < b > for bolding to have things stand out like each topic of the lines. multiple lines 2.png1039291 23.9 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCBabak . Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 Brilliant. That works! image.png1691527 131 KB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kristi Carter Posted October 28, 2020 Author Share Posted October 28, 2020 This is great and I can get the added and it works perfect. I am not an HTML expert at all, where would I put the portion in the description to make it bold the first word like you have in your second sample Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYCBabak . Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 LINE1: Regular text <br><b>LINE2: BOLD TEXT LINE1: Regular text LINE2: BOLD TEXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Fosnaugh Posted October 28, 2020 Share Posted October 28, 2020 You can use < /b > to terminate the bolding so it just pertains to what you want it to. <b>Line1:</b> This is line one <b>Line2:</b> This is line two I am pretty excited to get the team looking into using this as you should be able to do even more with HTML like adding color and what Im really hoping that we can do is generate links to the documentation page for each data element in Confluence by including the URL in an href. Google is your friend for finding HTML code to insert everywhere. Adding it to reports is pretty powerful as well. Thanks for bringing up this topic Kristi!
