Depending on what browser your using, you might find little things such as this. When I am doing any screens editing I’m using IE 8. I normally don’t run into any issues with the object's and column size's. On your next screen let me know if it works correctly.

Ryan Thank you for responding. I will try that on the next screen. I did notice that if I leave the fields and objects all at their smallest size and close the fields and objects section, the layout seems to work better. After the layout is finished, then expand the objects and fields to the size I want. Have you found this to be true?

  Hi John, Couple of things I want you to check: 1. In the calendar view can you double check the filter on the left hand side to see who is the 'Assigned To' user.  Make sure the individual you assigned the work order to is checked. 2. Another thing you can look at is the time of the work orders.  If it is ...

I am having trouble with the lines staying the same size horizontally and vertically while tring to customise a screen in Field Services. Reloading the screen does not always work. This problem seems very eratic. Sometimes I will end up with two objects in one field. When I view the page, my objects will not be uniform. Am I missing something? ...

 I have not made any customization on the Calendar screen, I've changed every view, and looked the "awaiting Stats", and still do not see any of the work orders created as series.  Any other suggestions?  Can we do a meeting and have you look at it?
