Vertical Scrolling on Dataset

Version 4.0.3

Issue

Our Systems Administrator just moved us from Xibo v3.x.x to version 4.0.3

I’ve spent 3+ hours looking through the manual, the module settings, and looking for a YouTube video to get me through it. But I’m finding no documenation.

Most users do not know about HTML/CSS/etc and having these options in the editor created a lot of confusion. We now have developer tools fo…

It would seem community feedback has inspired/made the dev team re-think this choice, and v4.1 MAY address this, but in the mean time we’ll have to make a custom module with developer tools.

Hi Shane,

Having those tables as scrollable is a great idea and we’d be happy to take that as a feature request. I’ve moved it into the appropriate category.
