Customize columns (Workplace XT)
You can use the Customize Columns action to choose the columns displayed in a folder. Choosing columns overrides the columns specified in the Detailed view site preference. The columns you choose do not affect subfolder columns.
You must be a member of the Application Engine Administrators access role and have access to the Preferences action to customize columns for a folder.
To customize columns to display in a folder
- Right-click the folder you want to customize columns for and click Preferences > Customize Columns. Workplace XT displays the following information:
- The available columns for the selected object store. You can re-sort this list by clicking a column heading. Not all columns can be sorted.
- The columns that are currently displayed in the folder. The label above the list indicates if the current columns are based on the site preference.
- Additional descriptive information for each column, such as the property's custom label.
- Perform any of the following actions:
- Add columns by selecting one or more columns from the Available columns list and clicking Add. If the columns were based on the site preference, the columns you select replace all of the site preference columns except the Name property.
KEYBOARD TIP Press Enter to move selected items from the top section to the Selected columns list.
- Remove columns by selecting one or more columns from the Selected columns list and clicking Remove. You cannot remove the Name property; however, if you remove all of the other columns, the selected columns revert to the columns specified in the site preference.
KEYBOARD TIP Press Delete to remove selected items from the Selected columns section.
- Change the order of the columns by selecting one or more columns in the Selected columns list and clicking Up and Down as needed. You cannot change the order of columns based on the site preference, and you cannot move the Name property from the first position.
KEYBOARD TIP Use Alt+Up arrow and Alt+Down arrow to reorder selected items in the Selected columns list.
- Specify the column used to sort the folder contents in ascending or descending order. You cannot sort on a column that can contains multiple values. By default, or if you remove a column designated for sorting, the folder contents are sorted by the Name property.
