Are detail views in dashboards every gonna fill their space properly?

[Austin]

Are we ever gonna get proper detail view sizing on dashboards so we aren’t limited to having a detail view that is 1/3 the width of a screen on a browser?

I’m curious what your recommendation would be to improve this?

Just make detail views take up the full width of the view that they occupy in a dashboard.
Or make it a setting. It just really limited the use of a 50/50 split window.

Padding needs to be addressed in general… You don’t want a detail view fun width on an ultra wide…

I can see this would be better when you have an inline view. Many of my apps use a set of inline tables to show children or similar data so full screen Detail view would help.

As @Grant_Stead, points out, for the other “normal” columns, leaving them in a vertical orientation will look quite weird in a full screen view on large devices no matter which display option is chosen.

I try to create different dashboard “panels” to help organize the data and make use of the extra screen real estate. But that’s not always feasible.

One idea…when there is a large number of “normal” columns together in a section of the view, the fields in that section could maybe be split into display columns - e.g. 4 table columns displayed in a left-hand column and another 4 displayed in a right-hand column instead of all 8 shown vertically.

Inline tables could still be stretched across the display.

You’re not alone

Allow Detail/Form views to stretch to full browser width Feature Requests

When using apps in browsers, Detail and Form views appear to be restricted to a set maximum width. This is fine for most fields in the record, but when you have horizontally scrolling inline views of related records, it doesn’t really make as much sense. Can we have these views stretch to the full width please?

Optionally change the width of detail view to fit with screen size Feature Requests

Detail view is cutting off the space both side, left and right when we view the same on the computer regardless of the screen size. When we have table view as inline, we need to scroll to right to view the rest of column. If we could change the width of Detail View optionally to full width to expand, we can instantly access and view the rest of the columns. Even for the rest of view, like card, gallery etc, it would give more quicker insight to user to access to the items in inline view as we…
