A column set is a group of columns. While persistent columns always display, only one column set displays at a time. If there are multiple column sets, then end users select the displayed column set from a list.
Column sets are optional. You can configure a table with only persistent columns.
For the default column configuration, the columns sets consist of the attribute groups configured to be used by default for record details.
On the Column Selection tab of the edit view, the column sets are displayed in the Interchangeable Column Sets list. If you are not using the default column configuration, then the list always contains an empty set, used to add a new set to the list.
You can expand and collapse each column set to show or hide the list of columns.
The order of the column sets in the list determines the display order in the end user list. The column set at the top of the list is selected by default on the end user view.
