How do I set the column width? I want my columns 100px for the first 4 and 300px for the last column. I had attempted these settings on the last column. It still appears much narrower when I open the views. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/1/d/1df8e9fcb61d83500ac316d7f6a3ed87fcbd716a.png) Running Ignition 8.1.0 ---

Read the manual, it’s in there… [https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Table](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Table) ---

If you’re not seen any change, I bet you field name is incorrect. Note, you don’t need to put **px** sufix ---

What makes you think it is there? I only saw 5 references to width. I will try without px. ---

Do you REALLY need fixed widths ? You could remove `strictWidth` and use `1`, `1`, `1`, `1` and `3` as width. Otherwise, as @jespinmartin1 said, make sure your `field` props are correct, and remove `px` ---

I think there might be an issue with my browser or something. when I look at [Perspective - Table - Ignition User Manual 8.1 - Ignition Documentation (inductiveautomation.com)](https://docs.inductiveautomation.com/display/DOC81/Perspective+-+Table) I do not see what jlandwerlen sees: ![2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/a/2/a245f32fdfb5cd19e50aa412a7fde973670564d2.png) Neither of these appear for me. I think I may be asking silly questions about simple things because possibly, I am not getting the full picture in some of the menus. I am not sure. For me: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/d/3/d34818f34b547577dd24d9d7a7f8d857d0e20741.png) I get 5 results for width. One in user functions for temporary resizing width, and then the ones in the image above. is there a way to get the full manual pages or a better advanced view or something? ---

It’s because it’s in the `columns` subsection: ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/7/6/76a19f5fd7da4bb377d234cb5c7dbfedd83d604a.png) You need to click that link to expand the section and get details. ---
