    Displaying Long Text in Dynamic Application Project View

    I can see this in the Global View but I need to see it in the Project View.  Is this possible or is there a workaround?

    My scenario is as follows -

    I have created a series of questions which are from our Security & Architecture team as a dynamic application.  These questions are to be answered by the Project Manager on each Project and are asimple Yes/No.

    Ideally I would like the PM to see the question before they go in to edit and answer the question. 

    Any ideas?

    Damon,

    I had the same scenario for a Customer Satisfaction Survey and an Ideation DA.  I ended up creating a webform for both and then editing the HTML code or having an HTML developer edit the code so the whole question lays out like I wanted.  It comes out originally wrapped in a small space.  I just made the space larger and the text unwrapped.  Now everyone can see the whole question.

    Hi John,

    Not sure i follow you here.  So by doing this are you saying you can now see the question on a webform or within Daptiv?

    Damon,

    What I am saying is if you want control of the questions, the webform will do the trick.  You can access the webform from your internet site.

     Long Text items can not be displayed in the project view, only in the global tab view and reports.

    But.... The name of a field (in this case the name of your field is a question, correct?) can be up to 50 characters or so.  If your answers are simple Yes/No then why are you making them long text answers?  That might solve your problem to change them to short text answers (100 characters or less) and thus be able to show them inside the project List view.

     If your answers are more than yes/no (or exceed 100 characters) then you are stuck with the global tab view.

     

    John is referring to where the name of your text field exceeds our naming limit and thus you can use a webform to get around it.  Not really what you are looking for in this case if I understand your question.
