Working with Table Columns

Table columns offer flexibility in how you view table data. You can adjust table columns in a window as you work, and if desired, save your settings so that your changes appear the next time you access the window. You can adjust table columns by re-sizing, rearranging, or sorting.

You can create user-defined columns on many tables in Solar Eclipse. For more information, see Adding User-Defined Table Columnsin Application Maintenance.

  1. Do one of the following:
