Note: the Customize Columns icon (to the right of the column headers, shown below) will allow you to customize the columns that are displayed, and in what order they display:

  • After clicking the icon, the Customize Column overlay will display.
  • As you select a column under the Available Columns or Current Columns, the arrow between the two fields will change direction, so you can add or remove columns from your view.

  • Click Save button to apply the changes.
