Do you have any suggestions? One possible solution proposed is to keep only the FRA years(such as 1990, 2000 ......) for the NDP issue (Table 1a &/ Table 1b).

In cases such as in Cyprus, where a user has entered a large table in section 2a Estimation and Forecasting, one possible solution could be to adjust the column width for the years (2010, 2011, 2015, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, 2025) and align the numbers to the left or right, or make the table font smaller.

@pengchenglai we can control only our tables, not free text content as it is not structured.
this problems will always happen if we let users enter whatever they want and be included in the print.
This kind of information should be entered as attached files and be included as annex. But this is not happening atm .

We can analyze and try to fix the cases (you have mentioned in this issue) by altering the user entered content in order to adjust the data. But this is not a solution, but we can try, if you want

Yes, we need to separate this issue into two circumstances:

1. Structured tables with too many columns. The Admin has kindly agreed to keep the FRA years for the simplicity of life, as it preserves the trend and the most important information.
2. Plz give it a shot. No, it is not the best solution, but we could set up some limitations for the upcoming assessments when users enter the tables (e.g., a maximum of 10 columns; otherwise, users will have to upload the table as an annex and attach the link).

@pengchenglai could you please clarify :

1. Structured tables: ALL tables should contain only FRA years ? 1990, 2000, 2010, 2015, 2020, 2025?
2. I'm not sure I fully understand.

• Should we try to alter the user content ?
• We Cannot control user content, therefore we cannot control how many columns they enter.
