To rearrange column order in a window

You can rearrange the column order in a server window, a Form Detail view, and a Script view for a chosen tree item.

  1. Select an object in the left pane of the server window.
  2. Drag and drop the columns to a new location.
    The next time you open the server window, Migrator remembers your changes and displays the columns in their new locations. You can also rearrange the columns in the migration status pane.
