Let’s start with something super simple: are you are aware that you can easily turn formula fields into customizable aggregators on par with lookups and rollups?
E.g.:
{Request Form Date}
& '\n' & {Request Form Name}
& '\n' & {Request Form Email}
& '\n' & {Request Form Phone}
Concatenates what I’m assuming are four fairly short cell values into one that’s four lines long. Given your description of the situation, it sounds like you’re already used to looking at max cell height hah, so that example would fit right in while leaving you with 5% fewer things to look at.
On that note and just to be clear: you should still keep the original fields, just keep them hidden. So, I guess this a fight-fire-with-fire sort of suggestion: more fields!
As for trying to keep things neat and as non-claustrophobic as possible, maybe consider shortening some field names while dropping their original names into their descriptions (which I assume are empty, based on those names you’ve shared)?
Because if you’re feeling things are getting out of control while having so much as a single “ghastly” field on screen; one whose contents mostly say something like ‘/’, ‘n/a’, or may even be empty, but is still a finger thick because it’s called Reimbursement Status, then maybe try dealing with those edge cases first.
And a silly question to round this out: how many monitors are you using? Fingers crossed the answer is plural. but you literally cannot have too many when it comes to stuff like this. And before going “where would I even put another one” - air space is all you need. :grinning_face_with_sweat:
P.S. Oh, and strongly agree with the above suggestion to try using views, sections, filters, and conditional record colorings more liberally. I don’t believe there’s a practical limit on those, and with the sections now being collapsible, splitting your tables into sections dealing with concerns (e.g. finance, logistics, paperwork, host info, finance stuff, emergencies), then segmenting those into views, as needed, would probably be the safest long-term play.
