Hello,

Im want to fix the width of a dashboard.
I have a field which has a field (in this dashboard on the left part of my
screen)
which could be long and make the right side of the screen out the display.
I wanted the size of the fiedl QueuedCountLabel fixed and the text inside
wrapped up and/or the dashboard itself with a fixed width.

I was trying a syntax as below:
<%@ Control Language="vb" inherits="Altiris.Helpdesk.Web.TemplateControl" %>
<%@ Register TagPrefix="aw" Namespace="Altiris.AppWeaver"
Assembly="Altiris.AppWeaver" %>
<%@ Import Namespace="Altiris.Helpdesk.Services" %>
<asp:Xml id="xmlCustomQueries" Runat="server" Visible="False"
EnableViewState="False">
<queries>
    <query    id="open"
        type="WorkItem"
        title="sidMyOpenTitle"
        sql="workitem_status_lookup_id = 300" />
    <query    id="queued"
        type="WorkItem"
        title="sidQueuedTitle"
        sql="" />
    </queries>
</asp:Xml>
<script language="VB" runat="server">

Dim title As String
Dim text As String
Dim whereClause As String
Dim count As Integer
Dim reportPeriod As String = "ALLDATES"
Dim dsQueries As Data.DataSet =
ListDataSet.GetQueryDefinitions(xmlCustomQueries.Document)
Dim reportPeriodClause As String = " and " & TryString("sidSqlALLDATES")
Dim currentWorkerClause As String = " and workitem_assigned_to_worker_id =
$current_worker_id$"
' refresh the configuration if necessary
Altiris.Helpdesk.Services.Configuration.Current.CheckRefresh()
lblTime.Text = Now()
' Find the count of open items assigned to the worker
count = ListDataSet.ProcessQueryDefinitions(dsQueries, "open", title, text,
whereClause, reportPeriodClause, currentWorkerClause)
SetHyperLink(hlOpenCount, title, text, whereClause, TryString("sidALLDATES"))
' Find the count of open items assigned to the worker's queue of record (if
any)
Dim queue As Integer = CurrentWorker.worker_queue_id
If queue = 0 Then
' queue is prompted
hlQueuedCount.label = ResourceManager.ResolveString("sidLblQueuedNone")
hlQueuedCount.command = ""
Else
Dim workerQueueClause As String = String.Format(" and
workitem_assigned_to_worker_id = {0}", queue)
count = ListDataSet.ProcessQueryDefinitions(dsQueries, "queued", title,
text, whereClause, workerQueueClause, reportPeriodClause)
SetHyperLink(hlQueuedCount, title, text, whereClause,
CurrentWorker.queue_name)
hlQueuedCount.Label = ResourceManager.TryString("sidLblQueued",
CurrentWorker.queue_name)
End If
End Sub
Private Sub SetHyperLink(ByRef hl As Altiris.AppWeaver.HyperLink, ByVal
title As String, ByVal text As String, ByVal whereClause As String, ByVal
titleParam As String)
dim t as string = ResolveString(title, titleParam)
hl.Text = TryString("sidItemsCount", text)
hl.Tooltip = t
hl.Params.Add(New Param("title", t))
hl.Params.Add(New Param("where", whereClause))
hl.Params.Add(New Param("viewOne", "yes"))
End Sub
</script>
<aw:Layout id="loCounts" runat="server" >
<aw:label runat="server" id="lblTime" Font-Size="xx-small" />
<aw:HyperLink runat="server" id="hlOpenCount" label="sidLblOpen"

<aw:HyperLink runat="server" id="hlQueuedCount" labelposition="top"
command="runQuery" />
</aw:Layout>
<td width="1%"><awynamicPanel id="dpDash" runat="server" Command="dashboard"
width="50" refreshPeriod="120"></awynamicPanel>
or
<td width="20"><awynamicPanel id="dpDash" runat="server" Command="dashboard"
refreshPeriod="120"></awynamicPanel>
but these did not have any effect on the size of the dashboard.ascx
I tried also to fix the width through the at one level up through a file
AltirisConsole.ascx
but no luck as well.
<td Width="3"><awynamicPanel id="dpDash" runat="server" Command="dashboard"
width="3" refreshPeriod="120">
or
<td><awynamicPanel id="dpDash" runat="server" Command="dashboard" width="3"
refreshPeriod="120">
but no luck the column remains large as the field name is....
I have this VB code on top of the XML defined below:
Dim queue As Integer = CurrentWorker.worker_queue_id
    If queue = 0 Then
    ' queue is prompted
    hlQueuedCount.label = ResourceManager.ResolveString("sidLblQueuedNone")
    hlQueuedCount.command = ""
    Else
    Dim workerQueueClause As String = String.Format(" and
workitem_assigned_to_worker_id = {0}", queue)
    count = ListDataSet.ProcessQueryDefinitions(dsQueries, "queued", title,
text, whereClause, workerQueueClause, reportPeriodClause)
    SetHyperLink(hlQueuedCount, title, text, whereClause,
CurrentWorker.queue_name)
    hlQueuedCount.Label = ResourceManager.TryString("sidLblQueued",
CurrentWorker.queue_name)
    End If
could it be fixed at this level ...?
this is the line which is calling the dashboard from the altirisconsole...
<tr>
<td width="1%" height="1"><aw:DynamicPanel id="dpDash" runat="server"
Command="dashboard" refreshPeriod="120"></aw:DynamicPanel></td>
</tr>

If you need more details don't hesitate to ask. Also if you think there
could be a command somewhere which block the sizing
let me know and try to tell me which command or parameter could prevent this.
