Configuring the column formatting and display

For all Results Table columns, you can specify a column width and determine whether the column is visible when the table is first displayed. For persistent columns and dimensions, you can also lock the column.

1. From the Column Selection tab, to display the Edit column dialog, click the edit icon for the column.
2. Under Column width, by default the Use default radio button is selected.

   To override the default width, click the other radio button, then in the field, type the width in pixels of the column.

   
   
   
3. For persistent columns and dimensions, you can lock the column, so that it is always visible at the left of the table.

   To lock the column, check the Lock column checkbox.

   
   
   

   To unlock the column, uncheck the checkbox. If the column is not locked, it is still at the left of the table, but can scroll horizontally.

4. By default, all of the columns are visible. However, you can configure a column to be hidden when the table is first displayed.

   To hide the column by default, check the Hide column checkbox.

   On the Column Selection tab, hidden columns are flagged with an icon.

5. For record list tables, you can indicate whether to highlight search terms that appear in the attribute value. To highlight search terms, check the Highlight search term in context checkbox.
6. The Value Formatting section is used to set the format for displaying the column values.

   When the dialog is first displayed, the section is collapsed. To expand or collapse the section, click the section heading.
