You can arrange the visibility and order of columns in a table to suit your
preferences.
Most tables in the web interface show only a selection of the fields from
the underlying database. You can configure these tables to show as many or as few of
the available fields as you choose. One reason to change the displayed fields is to
perform searches or filtering on the data — searches and header filters are limited
to the fields currently visible in the table (simple filters and advanced filters
are not limited only to visible columns, as described in Adding a Simple Filter and Creating an Advanced Filter).
Your choice of columns to display, and their positions in the table, are both
‘sticky’ (that is, persist when you go to look at a different page and then return
to the one you modified). Of course, each person can set these preferences
independently (they are maintained for each login account).
Note: You cannot change
the width of individual columns. Column width re-sizes dynamically to suit the
width of your browser window.
To manage columns in tables (or lists):
-
To change the order of visible columns:
-
Choose which column you want to move.
-
Use your mouse to drag that column header left or right along the row
of column headers.
As you move far enough, a pair of small vertical arrows appear
to indicate the current target gap between other columns.
-
When your preferred spot is highlighted by these arrows, drop the
column header you are dragging.
The table is redrawn with the column in your new position. You
may repeat this process as often as required. The order you set is
maintained for this table until you next change it.
-
To add a column to the table:
-
From the set of icons above the right side of the
list, click the column chooser icon ().
The Choose columns
palette appears, floating over the table. You may drag the palette by
its title bar to any convenient location.
-
In the palette, scroll to locate the desired column header, and drag it
out of the palette to the header row on the table.
As when you reorder the columns, the current target location for
dropping the new column is indicated by two small vertical arrows
highlighting the gap between existing column.
Tip: Column
names are arranged alphabetically. If a table includes properties
from many different database objects, the column names in the
Choose columns palette are grouped under
blue titles that identify the underlying object.
Note: If a
database column is not listed in the Choose
columns palette, you cannot display it in a list in
the Management view. For some objects,
additional columns are available if you wish to prepare a custom
report.
-
Repeat for any additional columns you want to add.
-
When satisfied, you may close the Choose columns
palette in either of these ways:
- In the top right corner of the palette, click the
X close icon.
- Above the list, click the column chooser icon () again.
-
To hide a column, removing it from the list:
-
From the set of icons above the right side of the
list, click the column chooser icon ().
The Choose columns
palette appears, floating over the table. You may drag the palette by
its title bar to any convenient location.
-
Drag the chosen column header from the table and drop it anywhere
within the Choose columns palette.
The column disappears from the table, and the column header is
inserted in alphabetical order into the Choose
columns palette.
-
Repeat as required, and then close the palette as described
above.
-
To reset a table to its original, factory-supplied configuration (including
visibility and ordering of columns), click the restore defaults icon ().
