Limiting amount of characters in the announcement board app/add-on
Hello,

I am in the process of migrating a company's digital manual into their SharePoint 2013 enviroment.

The whole process is going without any major hiccups but one of the managers wondered if the preview message, as it appears on the frontpage/announcement board, could be limited to a certain amount of characters (kinda like the characters limit in Twitter).

I do have access to SharePoint Designer 2013 if a character limit can be implemented there.

Thanks in advance!

EDIT: I have discovered that I can specify the length limit of the announcements but I have trouble finding the 'length limit' in SharePoint Designer 2013.

If someone knows where to look and point me in the good direction, then I would be very grateful.

Hi,

Can you provide more details about what message you want to limit the length? A screenshot would be better.

If you want to limit the characters of the Title column of an announcement, in the column setting page, there is a setting Maximum number of characters would be helpful:

Thanks
