Add and Remove Columns

You can remove property columns while working in the Library or Outline Editor. Views in the Library and Outline Editor display a different subset of the total list of available property columns. If you need more information in a view, you can add one or more columns from the list of available properties.

Removing columns simplifies the view and lets you concentrate on the properties you use. If you find that you need to see the data in a deleted column, you can add the column back to the view.

The Developer preserves your last column display in the active view for the Library and the Outline Editor.

To remove a column:

1. Drag the heading of the column you want to remove down into the view and release the mouse button when a large X appears on top of the column heading.

To add a column:

1. Right-click on any column heading and choose Column Chooser.

   The Column Chooser window opens displaying the column headings for the hidden columns.

2. From the Column Chooser window, drag the column you want to add and drop it in a position on the column heading row.

Note: Dropping a column on top of another column heading adds the dropped column to the left of the column heading. To add a column to the end of the column headings, drop it on the right border of the last column heading.

To configure columns in a view definition:

1. On the View menu, choose Manage Views.
2. Add a new view or edit an existing view.
3. Click the Column Selection tab.
4. From the Available section, choose one or more columns and click <right arrow> to move your selection to the Used in view section. To remove one or more columns, make your selection and click <left arrow>.
5. Click Apply to save your changes. If you are editing the active view, the results of the view definition are immediately visible.
6. Move to the next tab or click OK to save the view.
