Personalizing Grid Column Appearance

When personalizing the grid column appearance, you can:

  • Change the column order.

  • Hide columns.

  • Freeze columns.

Changing the Column Order

To change the column order:

  1. Under Column Order, select the column that you want to move.

    To select multiple adjacent columns, press and hold the Shift key as you select additional column names. To select multiple nonadjacent columns, press and hold the Ctrl key as you select additional column names.

    If the grid contains tabs, the system displays the tab separators in the Column Order list. You can move the tab separator just as you would a regular column, thus altering the number of columns that the system displays on a particular tab at one time.

  2. Click the up or down arrow buttons to move the column up or down in the list.

    If you move a frozen column below an unfrozen column, the system disables the frozen setting.

  3. Repeat Steps 1 and 2 to move additional columns.

  4. Click OK to save your changes and return to the transaction page.

Hiding Columns

To hide columns:

  1. Under Column Order, select the column that you want to hide.

    To select multiple adjacent columns, press and hold the Shift key as you select additional column names. To select multiple nonadjacent columns, press and hold the Ctrl key as you select additional column names.

  2. Select the Hidden check box.

    Note:

    When you use the find feature in the grid, the system will not search any columns that you set as hidden.

  3. Click OK to save your changes and return to the transaction page.

    Note:

    It is recommended not to hide the columns in a grid that are used for sorting.

Freezing Columns

To freeze columns:

  1. Under Column Order, select the column that you want to freeze.

    Note:

    Any columns that the developer already defined as frozen appear with the Frozen check box selected. You can override this setting by deselecting the check box.

  2. Select the Frozen check box.

    The system automatically freezes the selected column and all columns above it. If you move a frozen column after an unfrozen column, the system disables the frozen setting.

  3. Click OK to save your changes and return to the transaction page.

Frozen columns appear on all the tabs within the grid.
