Selecting Display Columns

This screen allows you to specify which columns will be displayed on the current table, and in what order.

The normal Data Table Columns screen.

The Data Table Columns screen in PDA mode at 240 by 320 pixels.

The items in the Available columns and Selected columns lists will depend on the type of table you are viewing.

To change the order of the columns displayed on the current table:

1. Select the item to be moved in the Selected columns list.
2. Click the and buttons to move the selected item up or down in the list.

Removing columns from the current table

To remove a column from the current table, click the item in the Selected columns list and then click Remove. This moves the selected items to the Available columns list.

To remove all columns, click Select all and then click Remove.

Adding columns to the current table

To display additional columns on the current table, select one or more items in the Available columns list and then do one of the following:

- To add the selected columns to the end of the table, click Append. In PDA mode, click Add Below .
- To add the selected columns to a specific location in the current table, find that location in the Selected columns list. Click the item in the Selected columns list that will follow your new columns, and then click Insert. (In PDA mode, this feature is not available.)

When the Data column is selected, the current table will automatically display the correct number of data columns for the subgroup size configured in the standard.

Saving these column settings as the default

To set up your workstation so that it always displays these columns in this order, select the Save column settings as default for this workstation only check box. (In PDA mode, this check box is not available.)

To set up your system so that this workstation and all other workstations will display these columns in this order, select the Save column settings as defaults shared with other workstations check box. (In PDA mode, this check box is not available.)

Note: Column selection options that have been set as defaults for a workstation will take precedence over shared column selection options. This means that a workstation where these defaults have been set for the workstation will use its own defaults and will not detect the shared settings.

To save changes only for this table, clear both check boxes.

If these two check boxes are disabled, then you do not have rights to save changes for future tables. In this case, the changes you make on this screen will apply only to this table.

Applying your column selections

After making your selections, click OK to apply your selections or Cancel to return to the current table without applying your selections.
