I suggest that since the actual link text is not really human useful, I would put in a "Link Text" for the URL field properties.

Thanks Mark, I tried that and it does work, but I really don't like that. I think the other users will not be as apt to click on the link. As it is now, you can right click the link after copying the passcode and immediately start watching the video.

- MarkShnier__You3 years agoQrew LegendAre you saying there is some difference between clicking words like zoom link versus clicking that long ugly URL? Or are you just saying that the users will have to get used to clicking on a different looking link. Of course you can make the words more instructional like "Click here to watch video"

I just want the table to look like the table on the dashboard. I should be able to fix the width of the column 'field' on the dashboard.
This looks decent & you can read all the notes people leave. The URL column is pretty in my opinion, but I have built over 100 psychology therapists websites since 2008, so I'm partial to them. The alternate text method does shrink it, but why can't I just have my cake and eat it too, by making the decreasing the column width? Excel spreadsheet people do this all the time.

Can you do a test on the report which is new style and has the wrapping and press the button at the top to display it as an old style report. If that report does not wrap then the issue has nothing to do with the dashboard but simply that the dashboard is using the old-style report.
One potential option is to coax a new style report onto the dashboard.
you might try putting a dashboard element of webpage and include the full URL of the report as the webpage. Suffix the URL in &ifv=1. That will suppress the quickBase headers.
