Sheet Formatting Question

Hi! In DT, sheets appear to have two view options: form and table.

Is there a way for the form view to show multiple records, or for the table view to allow text wrapping? In other words, I’d like to view the records in a list, but showing each complete record.

The reason I’d like to do this with sheets is for later exporting the finished file to a Filemaker database. If there’s a convenient way to do that with some other file format internal to DT, I’d love to hear about it also.

Thanks!

  • No, you can’t view multiple records in Form view.
  • Text wrapping is visible with Multi-Line Text or Rich Text.

Thanks. Is text-wrapping visible in table view? I have a column in multi-line text, and there is no text-wrapping in table view; instead, the text just cuts off at the right.

You’re welcome.
Did you try resizing the column width?

Yes. There’s still no text wrapping.

I’m seeing three wrapped lines in table view in 4.0.

Definitely not working on my end. There is some text-wrapping, but only for some records and then only partially.

Short of taking notes in Excel or Numbers, can’t see a way to do what I’m after.
