KB9006: What are the "Auto Fit to Window" and "Auto Fit to Contents" grid formatting settings in MicroStrategy Web?

This article outlines what the "Auto Fit to Window" and "Auto Fit to Contents" grid formatting settings in MicroStrategy Web are.

Users have the grid option to use either "Auto Fit to Window" or "Auto Fit to contents". "Auto Fit to Window" is enabled by default, but the setting can be modified by performing the following steps:
 

  1. Execute a report in Strategy Web
  2. Go to the Format > Resize Columns and Rows
  3. Modify the setting accordingly

Within a grid report, there is a report table which displays the grid. The table defines the report's table headers, row and column sizes, colors, etc.
 
Auto Fit to Window
When the "Auto Fit to Window" Grid Layout setting is enabled, the report table will modify the column widths in the table. By doing so, it will ensure that as much of the report as possible can be displayed in the web browser. As users resize their web browsers, the column widths will change respectively. For example, when the web browser is maximized in size, Strategy Web will adjust its column widths to provide some additional cell padding while still fitting as much of the report as possible within the web browser. Should a user resize their web browser window to a smaller size, the column widths will become smaller. The column width will become as small as possible, so that its width can still fit the largest data in a column.
 
Auto Fit to contents
When the "Auto Fit to contents" Grid Layout setting is enabled, each column in the grid table will try to become as small as possible. This means that each column will become as small as the largest data in the column. This column size will remain the same regardless of the size of the browser window.
