Not able to view full data elements in android

Hi all,

we have a problem with data set - section forms

We cannot see the full data element names in android; only just part of them, so we are not able distinguish between data elements as they all begin with the same words.

We have installed version 2.8 in android and the DHIS 2 version is . 2.36.

Regards

Hi @fernando

In the latest app, it’s possible to resize the column:

Resized dataset tables: This feature allows users to resize the columns in datasets, making it easier to view and work with larger tables. Now it is possible to resize all columns by clicking on the header of the column. The resizing can be done through drag and drop. A maximum and minimum size limit is given for the columns that can be resized to ensure a good layout. Users can resize all columns at once by clicking on the top left of the table


see release notes: Releases · dhis2/dhis2-android-capture-app · GitHub

Are you trying to resize the table but still not able to? Thanks!

Hi @fernando,

Adding to what Gassim mentions, take into consideration that 2.8 was having a small bug where the data elements name were displayed in only one line ([ANDROAPP-5018] - Jira). This was fixed in 2.8.1.1, now the app displays up to 3 lines before ellipsis. And of course you can use the resizing to see the full name in case the 3 lines aren’t enough.
