The Column Width module (com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth) enables the definition of the column width in the Analysis Web item. There are several possibilities for specifying the columns:
● Default width
● Default width for fixed columns
● Default width for specific index
● Default width for specific characteristic
● Default width for specific characteristic value
● Default width for specific attribute
● Default width for specific structure member (key figure or characteristic value)
The technical name of the implementation is com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth.
● Other modules (e.g. documentation contents) can also have the parameter Column (COLUMN) or Row (ROW). The possibilities available here for entering a column are the same as for the module Set Column Width. Note that the value might be Boolean rather than an integer.
● All columns that are not explicitly specified have the default width. If you do not specify a default width, all columns that are not explicitly specified have the width 0. This means that they are not visible.
The column widths for a specific characteristic, attribute, or structure value overwrite the width for a specific index and the default widths. An index width overwrites the default widths.
If you specify multiple columns, you have to change the names of the parameters. The COLUMN parameter name must be different for each column. You must therefore add a number to the names. There are the following supported ways of doing this:
● COLUMN[<number>]
● COLUMN_<number>
Make sure that the module is activated. If not, the column widths do not change.

The default width is important because it is used for all non-specified columns. If you do not specify a default width, all non-specified columns are set to 0, which means that they are not visible.

The column is identified by the specified index. The width of the specified column is set independently of the current navigational state. If the navigational state changes, the content of the specified column might relate to a different characteristic or key figure.

The column is determined by the specification of a characteristic. The column with the specified characteristic is always modified in line with the specified width. This is independent of the navigational state.
