The first column always displays the task label and cannot be hidden. You can control what appears in it through the Widget Properties > Table > First Column settings:
Parameter
Effect
FIRST_COL.showId
Displays the work item ID prefix (e.g., “WI-123:”) before the title
FIRST_COL.showTitle
Displays the work item title text
FIRST_COL.showIcon
Displays the work item type icon before the label
Set showId to true when users need to quickly identify work items by their Polarion ID without opening the lightbox.
If you only need to see work item IDs in the grid, set showTitle to false and showId to true. This produces a compact first column showing only the ID.
Set the overall width of the grid panel through Widget Properties > Table > WIDTH. This controls how much horizontal space the column area occupies relative to the timeline.
When a user resizes the grid panel or individual columns by dragging, those widths are saved to browser local storage. On the next visit, the saved widths are restored instead of the widget parameter defaults. Users can reset to defaults via the hamburger menu.
You should now see the configured columns in the Gantt grid. Verify that custom field columns display the expected values and that column widths match your configuration. If a column shows empty values, confirm the field ID matches a valid Polarion work item field.
