Summary
Make "Title" the primary/left-most field in Calendar overview (before "Who") or allow configurable column order
- Steps to reproduce
- Open the Calendar view.
- Create several events with:
- A descriptive Title
- A long Who value (e.g., long full name, or multiple attendees)
- Go back to the Calendar overview/list.
- Observe that:
- The Who column appears before Title.
- The Title text is often truncated or pushed out of view, especially on smaller screens or with long Who values.
Description
Problem / Current behavior
When users create and view events in the Calendar, the overview/list shows the columns in this order:
- Who (participants/organiser)
- Title (event title)
If the Who value is long (for example, a full name or multiple attendees), the Title column is pushed to the right and truncated or hidden. As a result:
- Users cannot easily see what the event is about at a glance.
- The most important information for scanning the calendar (the event title) is often obscured.
- This causes confusion and slows users down when working with a busy calendar.
There is currently no setting to reorder columns or resize them in this view, so teams cannot work around this via configuration.
Expected behavior / Proposed solution
We would like the Calendar overview to be more readable and configurable. Specifically, one or more of the following:
- Default change
- Make Title appear before Who (i.e., as the first/left-most column) in the Calendar overview.
- Configurable columns
- Allow admins (or users) to configure:
- Column order (e.g., drag-and-drop or preference setting)
- Optional visibility of columns (show/hide)
- This would allow each team to prioritize the fields that matter most (for example, Title first, then Date/Time, then Who).
- Improved truncation/space handling (optional)
- Ensure that Title always has enough space to show at least the beginning of the event name.
- Optionally, provide:
- A tooltip on hover with full Title and Who
- Or responsive behavior that shortens Who before Title when space is limited.
