Enable/Disable/Hide Columns

Description

As an administrator, you can turn on, turn off, and disable columns on a report for all users. This control exists within every report on the Data Grid Columns section of a report Administration tab. There are three values: On, Hidden, and De-Selected. When a column has 'On' in the enable field, the column is on a report as a default. When a column has 'Hidden' in the enable field, the column will not be available for any user to see or select on the report. When a column has 'De-Selected' in the enable field, the column will not be shown as the default on the report, but end-users can select the column to be added to the report. To set the enable status on a report, access the Administration tab of the report. This is often located within the +More tab. Open the Data Grid Columns section. Locate the column you want to update the enabled status. Use the dropdown list to select On, Hidden, or De-Selected. Save the change. To fully activate the change on the report, you must reload the page or execute the report. When you look at the report, if you changed the value to 'On', you will see the column on the report. If you chose 'Hidden', you will not see the column and you cannot choose it from either Advanced Options or from the Select Report Columns icon. If you choose 'De-Selected', you will not see the column on the report as a default, but users can choose to activate the column from Advanced Options or the Select Report Columns icon. This will only keep the column active for your current session. If you always want that column on your report, you should pin the report to save the column status.
