    Hello, 

    I am wondering if there is a way to create custom columns widths. Right now all of the columns on my table are the same width. I would like to have the Article Title column to be bigger than the other columns but I want the entire table to stay at the fullwidth of the site. How do I do this? 

    Attached is a picture of how it is and a picture from Excel on how I want it to look. Thanks for your help!

    Hi, Emren 

    Firstly, I would like to sincerely apologize for the delayed response as we have been experiencing an unusually high number of tickets. I am sorry that it has taken longer than usual to respond to your concern and your patience is highly appreciated.

    Absolutely. If you wish for the entire table to stay within the edges of the page, but to have custom width for certain columns, we have an easy built-in solution.

    There are two steps :

    First, go into the Display tab of table settings > And set to "Limit table width to page width" ( you then have additional option to try word wrapping)

    Then, you can go into any column setting, and set a custom width, input without px for pixels, or add percentage symbol for percentage valuesmile.png

    Let me know if that works for you, and if you have any questions.smile.png

    Kind Regards,
