NOC View columns running off the page

Apologies upfront, I'm a complete NOOB with Solarwinds. I was handed monitoring about 3 weeks ago. I need to create a NOC view for a set of services, nodes, HTTP(s) monitors.....you get the picture. In doing this just looking at a single custom object resource selected to one service monitor runs WAY off the screen. I am having a hard time believing Solarwinds hasn't added a setting to simply wrap the column around onto the same screen? I can, of course, put a physical monitor (TV) below but that just seems beyond even a noob move and waste of resources. I also cant really break up the resources as they have custom interdependency thus viewing "some" of them isn't productive in monitoring. Any thoughts or recommendations would be greatly appreciated?

You should be able to resize each panel. From NOC view, you should see the following when you click or hover over the 3 bars in the upper right hand corner - Enable drag&Drop/Pause.

Once selected, you should see the double arrow cursor when you hover over the edges of the panels. Text should automatically wrap within the panel. If you still need more real estate, click or hover over the 3 bars in the upper right hand corner and select Customize page. Put a check in Enable Left Navigation, and just add pages to the view. Enable NOC view mode, and set the Tab rotation time.

thank you for the reply. Resizing the columns and "word wrap" I'm familiar with, I was referring to the columns themselves always running off the page. Take an expanded groups of groups view, the objects being viewed will not wrap and start a new column but instead will just scroll off the page making it less than optimal for a NOC wall. Left navigation is great for multiple columns or different levels of detail rotating on the screen but not for a single column.

I did however find a way to display the "simple icons" I was looking for. I fell back to Network Atlas to custom create objects pointing back to groups that don't need to be expanded and can be easily seen on the wall. While the tool doesn't feel like its been updated since Windows 98 it served the intended purpose.
