View: multi-row project View

In this project view you can:

  • Display project information in a multi-row format.
    The view uses the sharecol=true tag to combine multiple fields under the same column header. To learn more about this tag, see View: merge information from multiple columns in one shared column.

  • Use a place holder column that holds an HTML line break tag (<br>) to force the Description to display below the project name, for example.

  • Display the Project Owner in parentheses after the Project Name.

  • Display the Project Name as a link to the project.
