The name can be entered in the top line (Header 1) or bottom line (Header 2). You can use both lines based on your preferences and needs.

Tip
Use curly braces ({}) to indicate that a numeric heading should include periods between the numbers in order to fill the column. This convention is commonly used for repeated fields that show numeric data graphically. For example, enter 0{}100 if you want the column header to display 0........100.

When finished, click OK.The view is now customized. When you close the view, MainView Explorer prompts you to save your changes. If you decline, the customizations will not be retained.
