Table view column configurations
Table view column configurations allow to set, which columns will be displayed in the item’s grid.
- Hiding/Unhiding columns
- Column settings
Visible columns may be hidden to a model (e.g. Email archive model) by clicking the cross mark () in the table of Visible columns. Clicking the check mark () in the Hidden column makes to work it the opposite way. Columns that were set to Visible/Hidden are shifted to the appropriate column in the grid.
Column settings can be edited with clicking the cog mark located next to the given column name (e.g. “From” as on the picture below).
By clicking the cog mark the settings dialog of the selected column opens.
It is possible to configure the following values in this dialog:
- Title – allows to change the title of the column in the grid (e.g. Sender as on the screenshots)
- Visibility – allows to set, in which views will be the given column available; in standard view, in advanced search view or always
- Sortable – allows to set, if the items will be sortable based on this column
