You'll Be Warned If You Export More Data to Excel than a Field Can Display

The row height in Excel has a hard limit. This means if you export a lot of data from ICM to Excel, Excel will visually truncate data that's too long to display in a field.

The point at which truncation occurs is unpredictable because it also depends on the column width.

 

We've added a warning message in ICM to remind you that some of your data might be hidden when you export it to Excel.

ICM will warn you if the amount of data in a Description field exceeds the predetermined length set by your ICM system administrator. It won't limit or truncate the data.

 

This warning is in place for exporting:

 

The warning is re-evaluated when you tab out of the Description field. You'll only see it if there's hidden data.

You'll also be warned if you open an entity in which the Description exceeds the limit.

You'll still be able to save longer descriptions.
