So much unused white space all over the application

Adding this screenshot as a different part of the horizon UI where whitespace could be utilized more efficiently; this screenshot could be either rules or DD but the issue is the same, the edit modal is on the right side surrounded by lots of whitespace.  The field dropdown doesn’t resize based on field length and so becomes truncated giving the user a horizontal scrollbar.  A better UX would be a dynamic resizing (within limits) based on field name length to not require a scroll.

I submitted a while ago an idea with Stuart’s example, and Sara had already submitted the same before then.
Whitespace is a pain point across the whole application :/
 

This…

@ophirsw @dstokowski FYI :)

Adding this to the list of areas in the UI with white space unutilized - this is in Rule Chains.  If I remember correctly, rule names by design can only contains 80 characters.  Imo, it would make sense to allow the display on this page to show 80 characters of rule names, versus truncating.

@Stuart, you must have been watching me work yesterday, because I had exactly the same observation in Rule Chains.

Even more interruptive, in the Rule Chain > Add rules view, the Horizon Rules tag consumes roughly 11 more characters. I am truly confused at how designs like this are getting into production.

@matthew_lind and @Stuart 6 months ahead of you :)

The Customer Goal tab is another place where excess whitespace persists. For any goal names that are longer, they’re truncated. To see the full goal name, you have to either:

1. Make the Goal Name box larger by dragging the end of the box to the right (glad this is an option but requires an extra click)
   OR
2. Click into the details of the Goal Name where the name is still truncated. To view the full name in the details view, you have to click the edit pencil icon and scroll through it which is an additional painpoint.

Here’s another example that leaves me frustrated with the Horizon UI.

The field name is truncated within a text box that is clearly large enough to handle it. Why use a design that puts white space inside a text box that definitely has room for more text?

Hello everyone

The Comments were on other threads on the topic but pl know that we are taking a look at addressing the excess white spaces issue across the various areas, addressed directly by @ophirsw 

and @rakesh, here

In the mean time let us tag any whitespaces issues feedback with the keyword whitespace

To add to this, when building a query in JO, there is a lot of whitespace to the right of the filters. Looking at the far left of the image below highlighted in red, some of the fields seem to be impacted by the lack of space on this side of the UI; some of the data type icons are cut off, some are indented weirdly, and longer fields are cut off since they run out of space. Why not use the whitespace to let us expand the fields section at left so the above issues could be avoided? This truncating definitely makes it a bit challenging sometimes to see which fields we’re pulling into the Show section or Filters. Luckily there is a lot of whitespace to hopefully work with to improve this!

Created a separate (but related) post specifically for Customer Portfolio because, as frustrating as all this whitespace/truncated views is for admins in the backend areas, it’s even more frustrating for end users, and IMO we need them satiated first.
 

@anirbandutta is there any sense of when there will be an improvement? We have been making these posts for years and yet the amount of whitespace seems to increase. The response is “we are looking into it”. Respectfully, when will there be a pivot from looking to doing?

Here’s another Horizon UI issue.

One the Rules Action page, the Weekend Behavior selector can almost disappear. 

Granted, I was in a narrower-than-average web browser, but not an absurdly small window. When the new UI actually makes configuration harder, it’s not a great UI.
