Organizing columns

  • Last update on July 27th, 2024

Columns showing lists of objects in the “Settings” section can be organized to customize how your data is presented in the list. This feature allows you to sort data, filter specific columns, and decide which columns to display.

Columns can be: 

  • Sorted
  • Filtered
  • Displayed
  • Moved

Here's how each functionality works.

Sort columns

By clicking on the double arrow icon, all items in the list will be organized based on the selected column. This could be in ascending or descending order, depending on your preference.

Filter specific columns

This functionality allows you to narrow down the data in a specific column based on certain criteria. Locate the filter icon next to the white rectangle, which appears under the first row of the column you wish to filter and click it to open the filter options.

Select the filter you want to apply from the list provided by clicking on the arrow pointing downwards. Populate the empty fields with your request, and you will be shown the results accordingly. If you need to add “AND” or “OR” in some filters, it becomes necessary to use report filters. Please, visit the reports filtering page to learn more.  

Please, note that the options shown in the dropdown menu may vary depending on the type of data in the column

  1. Click on the column name that you wish to move. Ensure that you hold down the click.
