2019 you could resize and lock columns in homebase 2020 you cannot ???

To resize and lock columns, so they don't move when you scroll across the client file view in HomeBase:

Go to the HomeBase menu and select Column Headings.
In the Columns dialog box, go to the Selected columns list and select the column that you want to resize or lock.
Click Properties.
When the Properties dialog box appears, do one of the following:
- To change the width of the column, enter the new width in the Column Width field, then click OK.
- To lock the selected column in place, click Locked, then click OK. When you scroll across the client file view in HomeBase, the locked column and all columns to the left of that column do not scroll.
Click OK.

I just checked 2020 in PSPro and it saves the column widths after you change them, I just dragged and dropped the vertical line separating the columns where I wanted it (I hadnt checked when I commented previously). I made a few wider, then exited the program, when I restarted the program and signed back in, those columns were still set to the width I had changed.

The EFCenter HB has never been customizable, but I sure wish it was!

@Orlando11 should we start tagging you in program issues like this?

Ive seen you comment on other ones, are you keeping a list of things that need to be fixed?

Yes, please! That would be great. I'll still scan as much as I can, but the tagging is very helpful.

For this, I'll check with our Product Manager. It's possible the new custom views was supposed to replace it, but I'm not sure. I know the scroll zooming was overlooked.

Also, in case you're wondering... Homebase was running on technology from a company that went out of business 5 - 10 years ago. This year we switched to something modern, which was a major undertaking. I'd appreciate any reports of issues or cases where the experience could be improved.

Thank you!

Where did you come up with those instructions, as they are not for Proseries Pro that I am aware of. If you want to change size of column's just hoover mouse over column, and drag to width you need. Not aware of any way to lock column's to a width.

In terms of locking the columns, so that they stay in place when you scroll..

For TY19 you could lock anything. For TY20 it looks like The Client Name and File Name are locked by default, and you don't have the ability to lock anything else. How impactful is that change? Would it be a nice to have to get it to work the way it did in TY19, or does it significantly impact the way you work? (Asking just for prioritization reasons)
