You can choose which columns the Log View shows, what order they sit in, and which ones stay visible while you scroll sideways.
Show or hide a column
- Select Columns on the right edge of the Log View.
- Clear the checkbox next to any column you want to hide. Select it again to bring the column back.
Figure 1. The Columns panel open, showing the column checkboxes and the Row Groups drop zone used to group the grid.
The grid updates as you go. Nothing is saved or deleted, so you can hide a column and bring it back at any time.
Find a column quickly
Use the Search... box at the top of the Columns panel. This helps when you are looking for one column and do not want to read the whole list.
Change the column order
Drag a column by the handle to its left in the Columns panel, and drop it where you want it.
Pin a column
Pinning keeps a column in place while the rest of the grid scrolls sideways. It is useful for Changed Date or Record, so you always know which row you are reading.
- Select the three dots in the column's header.
- Select Pin Column Left.
Figure 2. A standard column menu showing Sort Ascending, Sort Descending and Filter alongside the pin and autosize options, for contrast with the encrypted Record column.
To release it, open the same menu and select Unpin Column.
Make a column fit its content
From the same column menu, Autosize This Column widens or narrows one column to fit what is in it. Autosize All Columns does it for every column at once. This is the quickest fix when a value is being cut off.
Tip
You can open a column's menu from the keyboard. Move to the column header and press ALT and DOWN.
