Custom Column Views

Custom column views let you control which columns appear on any list page in Device42, along with their order, width, and filter settings. This page explains how to create and save custom column views and set them as defaults for yourself or other users.

Create a Custom Column View​

To add a custom column view, navigate to a list page, such as Resources > Compute > All Devices.

Click the gear icon on the far right of the screen, to the right of the current view name. The default view is System Column List.

In the dialog, name the new view (1), click the Table Columns dropdown, and select (2) and deselect the columns you want.

Check the System Default checkbox to set this view as the default for all users, or check User Default to set it as the default for your own account only.
