Please can we have a way to either adjust the width of columns to make a better use of the space on screen OR have it smarter where some of the default columns are naturally only the width of the longest item in the box.

I like to have as much detail in Table View as possible on screen as I don’t want to scroll to see the different items.

Alongside that, can we break up items that are bundled together, for instance “Agent” and “Group”, I very rarely adjust group, and only adjust agent, so I find the Group column needless and due to the width usage, it makes the issue worse.

When I turn the Group/Agent off, the row depth shrinks and I can double what I see on screen. In table view I want the maximum number of rows on screen at one time.

I have this same issue and the columns get deeper when you add in Agent/Group, but the text is only short. I am not sure why it does this. I would love it to be fixed too!! There is A LOT of wasted space.

I, too, find the column widths very annoying.  My subject usually just has a ticket number in it and uses half the screen, full of empty space.

Agreed, being able to adjust the column widths is nice, but separating the agents and the group in a column would be AMAZING. Very high on our wish list!
