Hi experts,

I have a problem using a form with absolute align: the label of the input field is truncated. I tried to use long label in label position, but not solve my problem. How can I manage size of labels of the input fields in a form with absolute align?

Thanks all

Best regards

Hi

Try increasing the size of your input form and drag your input field to the center. This might help displaying your full label - with long label option selected.

Thanks

Hi Manoj,

I have many input fields in the form. I drag one field to the center, but not solve my problem, because the label is large.

Thanks!

Hi

This does happen sometimes, you can try and solve this by showing the input fiels without a label and then using a plain text field as the label or placing the label on top.

Hi Jorrad,

"by showing the input fiels without a label and then using a plain text field as the label"

This solve my problem, but I get another, because a have too many forms and too many fields to duplicate.

I want to know how manage the size of labels of input fields.

Thanks!

Hi Gustavo,

When you set the "Align Contents" property to "Absolute" there are some

limits related to the labels, those limits are:

- Label Before 8 Characters

- Label Above N Characters (no limits)

- Long Label 14 Characters

- Short Label 3 Characters

Nevertheless if you just change the "Align Contents" property to

"Horizontal" you will be able to use all the labels present in your

iView without any problem.

This is mentioned (not too explicit but mentioned) in the SAP NetWeaver

Visual Composer Reference Guide

"User can freely arrange the UI components on the form (long labels may

not be fully shown at runtime)"

Hope this helps.

Best Regards,

Luis
