2.7. Configuring Table Columns

Business Central allows you to configure views that contain lists of items in the form of tables. You can resize columns, move columns, add or remove the default list of columns and sort the columns. This functionality is provided for all views that contain tables.

Once you make changes to the columns of a table view, these changes are persisted for the current logged in user.
