Table Fields - Default Box Size Options
It is fairly common for me to have a case where I need to present a user with more than one table field, and sometimes a few of them. In most cases the row count for the table fields is small, resulting in a lot of wasted white space in the table field boxes. This makes for a lot of scrolling to get to what a user needs to see or act on. While this would have value anywhere, it would have special importance in workflow tasks. The best handling that I can think of would be to be able to set a number of rows that you would like to have a table field sized to when presented to a user. An alternate method would be to have the table field start at one line presented and then set a maximum number of rows to be reached before stopping its growth and bringing in the scroll bar to access the rest. Either approach would work great and would really help to clean up the user interaction where multiple table fields are being presented.

Time saving measures such as this are imperative for high volume, single person AP departments in order to save time when processing each invoice.

This is needed for coding of AP invoice lines

The amount of time saved by not having to scroll through six table fields is very significant for AP processing.

This feature would provide for a much better user experience for cases where multiple table fields are presented. As it is now there is a lot of scrolling and in a workflow task the space is limited and the scrolling to get to the different table fields is a lot more than I'm actually comfortable asking users to do.
