Enhancement Request for RACI Table Column Width Adjustment in ARIS

Context:

In the RACI table on ARIS connect portal, the first column, typically labeled as Object Name, often occupies excessive space, resulting in a suboptimal layout. This can impact the overall readability and usability of the table, especially when the object names are short but the column width remains disproportionately large. The inability to manually adjust the width of this column limits customization and can lead to wasted space and inefficient use of screen real estate.

1. Current Issue:

• Object Name Column Width: The first column (Object Name) in the RACI table displays too much space, even when the content (i.e., object names) is short.

• The column width is fixed or difficult to adjust, leading to misaligned text or too much unused space.

• This causes the other columns (Responsible, Accountable, Consulted, Informed) to be cramped, reducing the table’s overall clarity and usability.

2. Proposed Solution:

• Allow Manual Adjustment of Column Width: Provide users with the ability to manually adjust the width of the first column (Object Name) in the RACI table.

• This flexibility will allow users to reduce the width of the first column when object names are short, thereby increasing the space available for other columns (R, A, C, I) and making the table more balanced.

• By enabling column resizing, the table can better adapt to different data sets, improving both the aesthetic appeal and the ease of navigation through the table.

3. Auto-Adjustment Feature:

• As an alternative or complement to manual adjustments, introduce an auto-fit feature where the column width is automatically adjusted based on the length of the object names.

• The column could resize dynamically to fit the longest object name, ensuring no unnecessary space is left while still maintaining readability.

4. Usability Benefits:

• Improved Readability: Allowing the first column to be resized or auto-adjusted will ensure that the text in the RACI table is properly aligned and that no excess space is wasted.

• Better Use of Screen Real Estate: When the first column is optimized, the remaining space can be used more efficiently for the other columns, improving the overall readability and interaction with the table.

• User Control: Providing manual resizing capability gives users more control over how they view the table, allowing them to tailor the display to their specific needs and preferences.

5. Considerations for Implementation:

• Ensure that the resizing or auto-fit feature does not disrupt the alignment of the other columns.

• Consider adding this feature not only to the RACI table but also to other tables in the ARIS Portal where column width customization would enhance usability.

Summary of Requested Changes:

1. Enable manual adjustment of the Object Name column width in the RACI table.

2. Consider adding an auto-fit feature to dynamically adjust column width based on the content.

3. These changes would lead to improved readability, better use of space, and enhanced user experience in the ARIS Portal.
