Tittle of the container. Possibility to split the tittle into couple of rows.

Very often, I used a container to make notes about certain parts of the workflow. Some of the comments that I created are pretty long. Could the user have the possibility to have at least rows for the title of the container?

I have created a screen to show what I have in mind. Potentially users could have the ability to turn this option on or inside the container?

Hi @CristonS,

 

Happy Friday!

 

I am happy that I could help. I am aware that everyone in Alteryx is doing their best to provide the best possible tool on the market. I will do my best to be more active in the ideas section to help you even more!

I can get behind this idea. This would be particularly helpful in vertical layout workflows where tools flow top to bottom so longer titles in tool containers are very unnecessary and create lots of extra space in the container. Example:

Hi @Kenda,

 

I am not a vertical user but definitely it is game changer for vertical users 🙂

I'm fond of UX ideas to better present the canvas. Nice suggestion @Emil_Kos

I'm going to add commentary that might potentially be better served on a separate Idea, but I wonder if we could either have an option to not have the Container auto-resize.

 

This is kind of like having a refrigerator door that is weighted to close automatically. It theoretically is a nice feature, but when you want the door to stay in a particular place and it doesn't, it is maddening!
