I've been looking around trying to find how to set the column widths in the alarm status table in perspective. Is there any way this can be done? It would be preferable to set them as percentages of the table width. Thanks.

I see this for Vision:

> v8.1.0 I can’t seem to set the default alarm status table column widths. In Designer in run mode, I set the widths, then save and go back into designer mode and the columns reset… The datetime field is as long as the display path field confused

You can adjust the column width by navigating to PROPS \> columns \> active \> [column name you want to edit] \> width.

[Here](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Alarm+Status+Table) are the ignition docs on this property, looks like it only accepts a numeric value.  
You could write a script that converts a percentage to column width.

Looks like I needed to drill down a bit further. Thanks!
