Helper IICenter table inside of container
I was wondering if it is possible to center a table inside of its container?
In the image above I would like to have the table centered with the guage above it. However I'm not finding an option to actually center the table itself. Since some of the statuses can get long I have to have the container wider so scroll bars aren't appearing since we do have this report showing on a TV.
Hi mattyj2009 ,
Based on my research, it is not supported yet currently. You can come up a new idea and add your comments there to make this feature coming sooner.

This is very true
This is not solved. Tables that change shape depending on data really need this feature.

I'm not sure if this is possible unless the visual specifically allows for text to be placed within it. Otherwise you may try enlarging the gauge and simply stacking the table over it and see if it looks acceptable.

mattyj2009Thanks for looking.
Moving the visual around doesn't work because of the Agent Status. We have some longer Agent Statuses and when we get one of those it will show scroll bars to move left and right. Because this is showing on a TV a person is unable to actually take a mouse and move left and right to see what the full status is. They would see the agent status cut off. Also I have quite a few other visuals on the page that isn't shown so making the table bigger, smaller, or moving around isn't really an option. If it were centered inside of that container then it wouldn't look so strange sitting under the guage on the left side.
You can increase the padding in General Properties and that is the most you can do to center it to a container. It won't be exact but it will look better than being in the top corner.
