Allow Full Visibility of Email Names in Drop-Downs

Allow Full Visibility of Email Names in Drop-Downs

I hate it when I'm selecting an email to use in an Engagement Stream, or even a Flow action, and I can't read the full title of the email options available until I select it, and then when I've selected the wrong one, I have to try again until I do.

Wouldn't it be great if the boxes that house the names of the email extended to fit the full length of email titles when we're selecting the one we want? Or to have the full titles of the available options scroll to the end when you hover over them? Or have it show the end of the email name instead of the beginning, since all of my beginning ones are the same?

The naming conventions Marketo recommends have really helped me get organized, but it makes for some pretty long asset names, which makes it take much longer for me to select the correct one among a drop-down - I find myself guessing or trying to remember the order in which I created them (or alpha order), which gets confusing when I have a bunch of options.

How long are your email names? I'd love to have a few examples for when we take a look at what to do here.

The email names themselves are not long - just the programs they are nested under.

Example: ENG 2014-03-31 Managed Hosting Early Stage.Email 4. So when I get to the drop down for emails to choose under Streams, it cuts off at ENG 2014-03-3... or so.

I see. Thank you, I can see how that would be aggravating.

It is annoying, but there's a little blue triangle on the bottom right corner that you can select and drag to see the full names. I agree that a hover action would be much more useful.

Thanks, Amy! That triangle tip is very helpful! I am all about maximizing windows whenever possible, so I'm so surprised I hadn't noticed it sooner myself, but I will definitely make use of that.

The triangle is great, but I'm finding that I'm having to resize EVERY time. In this case too, a hover situation or a re-size would definitely be beneficial.
