To select the columns to display in the table, to specify
the order of those columns, and to designate which columns should
be fixed in position when the table is scrolled horizontally, use
the Configure Columns action. You can also
use this action to display columns hidden by default (if any).
Procedure
- Select Configure Columns from the Actions menu. If the action is not listed, you cannot configure the columns
in the table.
- In the Configure Columns window, to move a column from
the Selected list to the Available list, select the
corresponding column and click Remove. To move all of the columns to the Available list, select Remove
All.
- To add a column to the Selected list, select the
corresponding column and click Add. To
add all of the columns to the Selected list, select Add
All.
- Repeat Steps 2 and 3 until the columns to be displayed
are included in the Selected list. At least one column must
be displayed in the table.
- To specify the order in which to display the columns, select
a column in the Selected list and click Up or Down to
move it to the correct position. The first column in the
list will be the first column in the table, the second column in the
list will be the second column in the table, and so on.
If
the table contains default fixed columns, the column in which the
item is displayed is shifted by the number of default fixed columns.
For example, if there are two default fixed columns, the first column
in the list will be the third column in the table.
- Repeat Step 5 until the columns are in the correct order.
- In the Additional fixed columns field, indicate
the number of columns to remain visible when scrolling the table horizontally. In the Selected list, a plus sign (+) will precede the
name of the columns that will be fixed in position.
The number
of fixed columns specified is in addition to any default fixed columns.
If too many columns are fixed, columns might be included in the table
to which you cannot scroll. To resolve this problem, reduce the number
of fixed columns or adjust the width of the columns by clicking and
dragging the divider between the column headers. If you cannot click
and drag the divider, you cannot resize the columns.
- Click OK to save your
changes.
Results
The columns are configured as you specified. Some tables
save the configuration for the next time you access z/OSMF.
In
most tables, you can also change the order of the non-fixed columns
by dragging and dropping the column header into the correct position.
You cannot use the drag and drop feature to move fixed columns, and
you cannot place a non-fixed column before a fixed column.
