Default Rule Name Section in Rules Engine to Show Entire Rule Name

Hi all,

Within the Horizon Analytics version of Rules Engine, it’s nice to be able to expand the Rule Name section to see the entire name of the rule without having to wait for the tooltip to pop up when moving your cursor over it. However, when I drag the bar over to see the entire name and then switch to a different folder, it reverts back to its default position and I have to move the section line again. It would be nice to have this auto default to show the entire rule name in Rules Engine and when switching between folders if possible. Thanks!

May I vote for this 50,000 times?  This was not a great design choice.

Yes, and please, and thank you.

The Rule Name is a critical element of navigation. Because many of our environments have (rightfully) strong naming conventions, the truncation of the Rule Name slows speedy forward progress.

Screenshot...the rule names are truncated.  As is the “Used In” column.  This really removes the ability to identify rules and make “at a glance” selections, especially when you have similarly named rules.  Please either expand these columns or add word wrapping so that we can see the whole thing in the pane without having to hover.

@sai_ram @rakesh may you get some eyes on this?  Thx!

Applies to Rule Chains too:

LOL - We laugh so we don’t cry! Status button does not need the same real estate as the others. Pretty frustrating for we admins that adhere to naming syntax’s. +50,000

+1, I constantly find myself resizing the name column anytime I’m in Rules Engine.

I personally would love to be able to reorder and include/exclude columns that I want to see. I don’t need “Used In” and I can barely see the column for status of SUCCESS/FAIL which seems like the most critical column.

@Cornelia my understanding is that Sai has moved on from GS - may you please enlist someone form the Product team to respond to this post and give us a timeframe on when this will be rectified? this carries over into Rule Chains as well. Every time I go to access Rules Engine or Rule Chains the first thing I have to do is expand the view, which is very tiresome and unnecessary.  Surely this is something that can be rectified fairly easily in a near-term release?
