Fixed Columns

A list can contain fixed columns. This means that these columns are located to the right or left of the list, depending on the settings. You cannot change the position of fixed columns. If horizontal paginators are visible, you can use them to scroll only those columns that are not fixed.

Prerequisites

  • The Column Selection tab page is displayed in the Settings dialog box.

  • The column you want to move is not a hierarchy column.

  • The column you want to move is not a fixed column.

Procedure

Moving Columns with Drag and Drop
