The following sections explain how you can select which columns are displayed to the users in different types of views.
Specify Columns for a Standard View or a Datasheet View
After filling in the name for
a view and selecting whether it is a personal or public one (and if it
is public, whether it should be the default), scroll down to see the
list of columns .
Here, you can choose which columns are displayed in the view and in
what order they should appear. To select a column, select the check box
next to the column name. To hide a column, remove the check from the
check box.
Tip
In document libraries, the
Title column is separate from the Name column. The Name column holds
the actual file name, while the title can be blank. When building views
for document libraries, remember that the name of the document is more
likely what the users are looking for and that, unlike in lists, it is
the Name column that can be displayed as the link to the file and not
the title column.
Specify Columns for a Calendar View
In calendar views, you can’t
choose multiple columns to display and order them in the same way that
you do for standard views. The reason is that in a calendar, the users
see only one column as the heading for the item.
It is possible to set for
each subview separately what column will be displayed as the link to
the item or file. Normally, you would use the Title column (for lists)
or Name column (for document libraries), but you can choose any column
you want. That column will be displayed as the heading for the item or
document in the view.
Both the daily and weekly
subviews support a subheading column, which is displayed beneath the
heading. You can either choose a column to be used as a subheading or
leave it not configured if you do not want a subheading.
Specify Columns for a Gantt View
In
Gantt views, as explained earlier in this article, you must choose a
column that will be used as the title in the Gantt chart under the
Gantt Columns section. However, unlike a calendar view, a Gantt view
also shows a tabular view of the items below the chart, which means you
can also modify which columns are displayed in that part of the view.
To do so, use the Columns section of the page to select which columns
will be displayed.
