Text wrapping for chart axis labels

Laura L

I would love the ability to turn on text wrapping for chart axis labels in a dashboard. Smartsheet automatically tilts my longer labels in a diagonal style which is difficult for our company leadership to read/follow and makes the bottom of the widget so much longer, taking up a lot a valuable real estate in a dashboard. See attached example. I'd much prefer the labels wrap and display horizontally beneath the bars. Even when reducing the text size, they still appear diagonally.

@Laura L i would suggest to change the layout from top to down. Maybe focus on showing deviation against target or a waterfall… what do you think?

Hi @NicoLHC. Thank you for your comments. I'm not fully understanding your suggestions. What do you mean by changing layout from top to down? The columns indicate years, so each set of four columns shows the trend for that category over 4 years.

@Laura L did you try a vertical layout?

When creating a Shortcut widget on the Dashboard, if you resize the widget the text doesn't wrap/auto-fit to the widget's size. It would be great to have a setting that wraps the text or auto-fits the text to the widget. I know there are other possible widgets where I could rework the text of the item to fit, but aesthetically I like the report icon that appears when selecting a Smartsheet report in the Shortcut widget.
