Customizing Group Explorer tables

Group Explorer tables display information about a parent object. You can select the parent object in a content editor or in the Folders view when you are viewing the object in table format. You can tailor Group Explorer tables, including adding attributes or properties as columns.

To customize columns in a Group Explorer table

1. Right-click inside the table and choose Customize Columns. Alternatively, you can click the Column Customize button .
   A Column Customization window opens.

2. To add a column, select an attribute or property from the Available Columns list at left and click Select to add it to the Columns list at right.

   Note

   The new column that you add is populated with values only if at least one instance of the property differs from the default value. If all instances of the property are set to the default value, the column remains empty. 

3. To remove a row from the table, select the row in the Columns list and click Unselect .
4. In the Sorting Order column, add the order in which you want the columns to appear in the table, from left to right. For example, 1 appears in the first position, 2 in the second position, and so on. Sorting order can also be applied from the Asc/Desc column, as described in the following step.
5. In the Asc/Desc column, click the No Sort button to assign the sorting order. You can choose whether you want to sort from highest to lowest (descending) or lowest to highest (ascending) by clicking on Ascending or Descending buttons.
6. To reposition the columns in the table, select a row and use the up and down arrows at right.
7. To expand the Column Customization window, click beside Format. For more information, see Formatting-columns.
8. To apply the changes and view the customized table, click OK.
