NUX Column Indentation and Width for Hierarchies

Hello! I have been trying to find a solution to fix this display issue when using the lowest part of a tall hierarchy as a dimension:

We have an 8 level COA hierarchy and when using the bottom level in the NUX all line items are tabbed out so far. I can make the column smaller, but the indentation remains the same and my line items get cut off:

This creates a lot of wasted space, and limits how effectively I can display information in grids. Is there a fix or work around to get rid of the unnecessary indentations?

Create a boolean, give the formula "TRUE", sort the view using this boolean and hide it from the view.

It will solve all your problems.

- No Sort icon

- No order change

- Nothing new on the User End

There is no setting available for the indentations. This is how the system is built.

Even I struggle with my CC Hierarchy sometimes.

We have the same indentation situation in the page selectors as well.

That's unfortunate to hear...is something to correct this on Anaplan's roadmap?

Yes, its already up there in the idea exchange. But not on roadmap yet.

Hi @DavidHunter

Try Sorting the published view with one of the columns with order - A to Z and totals - After. It works for me. The view should have a filter which filter outs the hierarchy.

I hope it helps.

Thanks for the work around, this works but it creates sort icons in the NUX and alters the display order once users interact with the grid which is not ideal.
