Im using a template for my Msc thesis and everything was ok, until I used the longtable, to create tables in multiple pages.
When I use the normal TABLE, the caption appear like this in the LIST OF TABLES:
\begin{table*}[t!]
%\scriptsize
\centering
\caption{The Sandish Chaos Report - Project Success Factors \cite{Chaos2015}}
\label{table:successChaos}
%\resizebox{\textwidth}{!}{%
\hspace*{-1cm}
\begin{tabular}{|p{1.1cm}|p{8.8cm}|p{2.1cm}|}
\hline
\multicolumn{3}{|l|}{\cellcolor{gray!15}Project Success Factors (\% of Responses)} \\ \hline
\ 1. & User Involvement & 15.9\% \\
\ 2. & Executive Management Support & 13.9\% \\
\ 3. & Clear Statement of Requirements & 13.0\% \\
\ 4. & Proper Planning & 9.6\% \\
\ 5. & Realistic Expectations & 8.2\% \\
\ 6. & Smaller Project Milestones & 7.7\% \\
\ 7. & Competent Staff & 7.2\% \\
\ 8. & Ownership & 5.3\% \\
\ 9. & Clear Vision and Objectives & 2.9\% \\
\ 10. & Hard-Working, Focused Staff & 2.4\% \\
\ 11. & Other & 13.9\% \\
\hline
\end{tabular}
\hspace*{-1cm}
\end{table*}
That result on this:
–
Now, using the LONGTABLE, I am getting the following results:
\def\arraystretch{1.5}
\begin{center}
\footnotesize
\begin{longtable}{|p{3.9cm}|p{5.9cm}|p{5.9cm}|}
\captionsetup{width=14cm}
\caption{\NomeDaIssue{}}
\label{table:Excessive Communication}
\hline
\multicolumn{3}{|l|}{\cellcolor{gray!15}Excessive Communication}
\\ \hline
\cellcolor{gray!15} Dimension:
&
\multicolumn{2}{|p{12.0cm}|}{Communication}
\\ \hline
\cellcolor{gray!15} Description:
&
\multicolumn{2}{|p{12.0cm}|}{There's no common ground between team members and this affects the quality of communication.}
\\ \hline
\cellcolor{gray!15} Desired Behavior:
&
\multicolumn{2}{|p{12.0cm}|}{Team members must have a similar language for working together.}
\\ \hline
\cellcolor{gray!15}Game Element
&
\cellcolor{gray!15}Discussion
&
\cellcolor{gray!15} Example
\\ \hline
\endfirsthead

\multicolumn{3}{|l|}{\cellcolor{gray!15}Excessive Communication}

\endhead
\hline \multicolumn{3}{r}{\textit{Continued on next page}} \\
\endfoot

\endlastfoot
Cascading Information Theory
&
Information about the project could be released in minimum snippets for the team, helping them to achieve similar level of understanding.
&
Very useful in the beginning of a project, you can create a presentation about the project in small chapters, where team members will go further only after completing each chapter.
\\ \hline
\end{longtable}
\end{center}
The list of tables is like:
–
I tried some things that I searched and nothing worked. What I want to do is to set all the list as "Table X.X – Loren Ipsum etc etc"
Don't know if it helps, but here the code that I found where the template create that model for the regular tables.
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
% Redefinindo o comando interno do LaTeX para formatar legendas,
% para incluir 'Figura' ou 'Tabela' ao lado do número de cada uma
% nas listas de figuras e tabelas.
%----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
\long\def\@caption#1[#2]#3{%
\par
\addcontentsline{\csname ext@#1\endcsname}{#1}%
%Aqui
%{\protect\numberline{\csname the#1\endcsname}{\ignorespaces #2}}%
{\csname #1name\endcsname\nobreakspace\protect\numberline{\csname the#1\endcsname\hfil\nobreakspace--\nobreakspace}{\ignorespaces #2}}%
\begingroup
\@parboxrestore
\if@minipage
\@setminipage
\fi
\normalsize
\@makecaption{\csname fnum@#1\endcsname}{\ignorespaces #3}\par
\endgroup}
And here's the packages that Im using:
\usepackage{graphicx}
\usepackage{multirow}
\usepackage{nicefrac}
\usepackage{algorithmic}
\usepackage{soul}
\usepackage{framed}
\usepackage{pdfpages}
\usepackage{todonotes}
\usepackage{lscape}
\usepackage{longtable}
\usepackage{booktabs}
\usepackage{caption}
\usepackage{subcaption}
Hope someone could give me a light for this… thanks a lot!
