Column Width & Order - Saved Per User

Every list screen and report grid remembers how you arrange its columns. Set the widths and the order once; the next time you open the same screen or report, it opens exactly the same way until you change it again.

Where to find it

  • The list (browse) screen of any entry module, e.g. Purchase Bill, Sale Invoice, Job Issue.
  • Report grids shown in the same list layout.
  • Pick-lists that open while filling an entry (party, item, taka lists and similar).

How to use it

  1. Change a width - drag the right edge of a column heading to make the column wider or narrower. The width is saved as soon as you let go.
  2. Change the order - press on a column heading and drag it left or right. A guide line shows where it will land; let go to drop it. The screen reloads once with the new order, which is now saved.
  3. Pick-lists - drag a column heading of a pick-list the same way. A short "Column order saved" note confirms it.
  4. Close the screen, log out or come back the next day - your widths and order stay as you left them.

Notes

  • The layout is saved for your login only. Other users keep their own layout.
  • Columns hidden through Configure stay hidden; dragging only re-orders the columns you can see.
  • To start again from the standard layout, open Configure on the same screen and use Reset.
  • The first column (the row selector) and the ID column always stay at the start.
