Inserting, editing, and removing columns

You can insert columns to show the values of an attribute or of layout DXL, and you can edit and remove columns. The maximum number of columns you can insert is 128.

Procedure

  1. In the module window, click Insert > Column.
  2. Use the Contents options to specify the information that you want the column to show.
  3. Optional: Color-code the data that is displayed in the column. Click By attribute in the Text Color box, and then select the attribute from the list. Only enumerated attributes that have a color associated with each attribute value are included in the list.
  4. Optional: Type a title for the column. If you do not type a title, the attribute name is used. If you are inserting a layout DXL column, the title is empty.
  5. Click Insert, and then Close.

What to do next

You can change the column title, the information that is shown in the column, and whether the information in the module is color-coded. You can change the way that the column information is displayed by using the buttons on the Columns toolbar. For example, you can change the column alignment and indentation.

To edit a column, right-click the column header, and select Properties.

If you want to see the columns next time you open the module, save the view.

To remove a column, right-click the column header, and select Remove.
