Has anyone created a nice report for Survey 123 but have issues with field name lengths and causes data to not appear in locations you want them to?

Looks like this in the template:

Tree        Plot Size: ${PlotSizeTree}                   Absolute % Cover   Dominant (Y/N)    Indicator:${#Name}

${ScienceName}

 

 

${AbsPerCoverTree}

${DomTreeSpecies2}

${Indicator}

 

${/Name}

                                                                                ${TotalCoverTree} = Total Cover

Shrub     Plot Size: ${PlotSizeShrub}                 Absolute % Cover   Dominant (Y/N)          Indicator: ${#NameShrub}

${ScienceName1}

 

 

${AbsPerCoverShrub}

 

${DomShrubSpecies2}

${Indicator1

${/NameShrub}

${TotalCoverShrub}     =      Total Cover    

Herb       Plot Size: ${PlotSizeHerb}  Absolute % Cover                Dominant (Y/N)                    Indicator:${#NameHerb}

${ScienceName2}

 

 

${AbsPerCoverHerb}

 

${DomHerbSpecies2}

 

${Indicator2}

 ${/NameHerb}

${TotalCoverHerb}     =        Total Cover  

Woody Vine Plot Size: ${PlotSizeWoodyVine} Absolute % Cover   Dominant (Y/N)           Indicator:${#NameWoodyVine}  

${ScienceName3}

 

 

${AbsPerCoverWoodyVine}

${DomWoodyVineSpecies2}

${Indicator3}

${/NameWoodyVine}

${TotalCoverWoodyVine}=  Total Cover

Hi Claire,

Have you tried putting the questions/answers in a table, that will allow you to set the column widths and align all the answers under the questions labels?

Hi Philip - yes that is what we have been doing. It appears the table is the best route to get things to line up the best.
