 Can't see entire window (Chart Add Series page)

Hi,

This seems silly but I can't see the entire window in PHPRunner when adding data series to my chart. The chart needs 50 data series but I can only get up to 19 in normal display (or 39 when I changed my laptop orientation to portrait...). PHPRunner seems to be working right but the window is too small and I can't seem to resize it to add the last few data series. Has anyone experienced this/ does anyone have a workaround? I am using Windows 8 and PHPRunner 8. Thanks,

Brett

In visual editor select table click on it until you see outline then drag the table across from the right to the right for more room . If you have it setup for many bars and table is too small it won't look appeasing. IF need 50 bars setup in chart layout but the bottom line to avoid scroll bars is to make the actual table in visual editor wider . IF it is a dashboard you are using then only use that chart in the top section so merge down.

Hi John,

Thanks for the reply, but the issue is not with the chart itself but rather with the set up steps. Specifically, the step in which you add series to the chart. As you add a new series in PHPRunner, you get the option to add another below. What happens is that I add series and it keeps adding more until the next series is added below the screen so I can't see it or add any more series. I need the scroll bar on the "Series" tab in PHPRunner or else I can't add more series. I've been able to add about 40 series but the last ten are below a visible area on the screen, so I can't add more. I hope this clarifies the issue. My best guess for how to solve it now is to add another monitor and then switch the orientation so that the rest of the series appear on the 2nd monitor. Any other ideas are appreciated since I don't have an extra monitor I can attach. Thanks,

Brett

Hi,

Here was my solution:

I used an old monitor I had and bought a vga to hdmi adapter. I then used this to connect to an external monitor and extend my display in display settings. In order to display vertically, it was necessary to drag screen 2 (in display settings) underneath screen 1. If they are side by side, it will extend the screen horizontally. This is for Windows 8 and PHPRunner 8.1 Enterprise Edition (beta). Since 8.1 is still in beta, adding scrollbars to the chart series page would be a great improvement for the final version. Thanks,

Brett
