Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Other Market Datat Colums

The possibility of combining increment in ticks on the DOM is GREAT, considering the increased volatility and the further thinning of Market Depht in all instruments.
(I attach the Chart DOM to be more clear)

The only thing is that on "Apply Combine Increment in Ticks to Other Market Datat Colums" does work on recent bid ask volume but doesn't on Ask and Bid Pulling & Stacking, It would be great if in further versions you could fix this.

Another thing (not so important but could improve this chartbook visually) is that on Graphics Settings-Chart is it not possible to widen the Widht of "Chart DOM bid Volume Bar" and "Chart DOM Ask Volume Bar"

If I'm not missing some chance already existing to do those things
regards

Make sure you are running the current version of Sierra Chart. Instructions:
Software Download: Fast Update

The market depth pulling and stacking columns do get combined as you can see here:

The market depth pulling and stacking column is the last column on the right.

You can change the length of the volume bars in the DOM. Refer to the following setting:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Maximum Volume Bar Width Percentage (Global Settings >> Chart DOM Settings >> Other >> Other Settings)

And you can adjust the width of the columns if you want to have larger bars in general for more granularity. Refer to the following:
Global Trade Settings Windows: Chart/Trade DOM Column Widths and Headers (Trade >> Customize Chart/Trade DOM Columns)

Thank you for the answers, all of that is clear to me, probably I've been not very clear on the request:

The DOM that I attached of E-Mini Nasdaq has the particularity that I grouped the levels in 4 tick increments you can see on the DOM that prices showed are 1 full point minimum increment (that is actually 4 ticks), I've done it going on: Chart > Chart Settings > Market Depht and selecting "Number of Levels for Bid/Ask Depht Calculations to 4 and also "Market Depht Combine Increment in Ticks" to 4. (see the images attached)
In this way (after having also setted properly the scale settings) I have a DOM that has a minimun increment in 4 ticks (one full point) and the bid/ask volume is the sum of 4 ticks with, also the market depht historical grapht sums 4 ticks quantities and also Recent Bid/ask trades as well.
The only thing that is not included is the Pulling and Stacking that I see more than one histogram (gray) inside a 4 tich range and I'm not sure if also the calculation is done also based on on 1 tick instead of 4 ticks.

As of bar width is was intending the vertical widht, but it is not a big problem...

We do see the issue of the Pulling/Stacking Volume Bars showing all the levels and not the combined levels. We will look into this.

With regards to the "Width" of the bars, meaning the height, there is not a way to change that.

There is no reason to set the "Number of Levels for Bid/Ask Depth Calculations" to 4. If you are actually displaying values that use the Bid/Ask Depth Calculation data (such as Bid/Ask Depth Bars) then you will only see 4 levels worth of data (1 point). That setting is completely unrelated to combining the Market Depth/Volume data in the DOM for easier viewing. Refer to the following for what this setting does:
Chart Settings: Number of Levels for Bid/Ask Depth Calculations (Chart >> Chart Settings >> Market Depth menu)

We are looking at adding support to combine, pulling and stacking volume bars, but as we work on the implementation of it, it is definitely not efficient. It is going to be inefficient with higher CPU usage. Therefore, we may not add support for this.
