**Q1. What is the problem that you are trying to solve?**  
On most places the name is truncated after to few characters, which often is not enough to make a decision.

**Q2 - Who is impacted?**  
Everyone with longer resource names.

**Q3 - Why is it important and/or urgent?**  
We implemented a naming scheme and we have to make some extra clicks to find the correct entries.

**Q4 - What is your proposed solution? (optional)**  
Make the resource name longer, shrink not useful information if possible

- passbolt view: shrink the password-field and the modified-field to a small fixed with. Only use 6 dots for the password-columns.
- passbolt app: extend the window to 150%

Perhaps the size of the app could be configurable or better simple changeable (like a textarea and keep this size)

**Q5. Community support**  
People can vote for this idea to show traction:

@Felix just for clarification are you talking about the size in the “quickaccess” (browser action / widget), or the main password workspace?

Both.

This is the mapping to your names.  
passbolt view = main password workspace  
passbolt app = browser action / widget

Suggestion to add to this - Have the column resizable by user’s choice. Example; excel, google sheet - columns can be shorten or longer by the user and by format max text size.

- coloumns should be resizable
- settings of coloumn sizes are saved at least user account wide
- (optional) settings of coloumn sizes can be defined as default over all folders and all changes in folders are saved seperately
