Columns

There are several options for customizing the columns displayed in Spreadsheet View.

Basic Column Adjustments

These adjustments can be made by right-clicking on a column header and choosing a menu option.

To add a single column, right-click a column header, select Add Standard Column, and then select the type of column to add. This option provides a list of commonly used columns.
To add a column that’s more specific to a row of data in your trace, high- light the row that you want to focus on, then right-click a column header and go to Add Column Specific to Current Row. The list of column type options will vary depending on the contents of the row you’ve selected.
To delete a single column, right-click a column header and select Remove Column.

To reposition a single column, select the column header and drag it to the new position.
To resize columns, select the column divider and drag the divider to the right or left.
To return to the default layout, right-click a column header and select Restore Default Columns.

Column Configuration Window

To add, remove, or move multiple columns at a time, select Column Configuration. The Column Configuration window opens (see below).

The Available Columns list shows all the available columns. Columns marked in gray are Standard Columns, while those marked in yellow are more specific. The Current Columns list displays the columns that are in use in Spreadsheet View.

In this window, you can Add or Remove columns. You can also rearrange the order of the Current Columns list using the Move Up and Move Down buttons. The option to Restore Default is also available in this window.
