General principles of column management
Column management lets you control the visibility of column groups in the search results table for the selected report type. This helps you focus on the data you need and hide extra columns for easier reading.
Important: Column visibility settings are saved automatically in the browser for each report type separately. On your next visit, the settings are restored.
How to open the column management menu
Step 1: Find the control button
- Find the column management button in the table UI (table-with-columns icon)
- It is usually in the top-right corner of the table or next to other controls
Step 2: Open the menu
- Click the column management button
- A dropdown opens listing column groups
- Each group has a checkbox to control visibility
Note: The menu closes when you click outside it or click the button again.

Important: Settings are stored in the browser’s local storage. If you clear site data or use another browser, settings reset to defaults.

Tips for column management
-
Use column groups to show or hide related columns quickly.
-
Tune for the task — enable only the groups you need right now.
-
Trust auto-save — but confirm the table updated after changes.
-
Different report types — settings are separate per type so you can optimise each section.
-
Try combinations — experiment to find the layout that works best.
-
Hide unused groups for a more compact table.
-
Defaults are a starting point — the app suggests sensible defaults per report type.
-
If reset — configure columns again; they will save for that report type.
