Changes associated with columns are saved automatically.

1 How to adjust column width

The column width can be adjusted either manually or by using the autosize function in the context menu. Changes in column width are saved automatically.

Columns can be adjusted in width at the marked spot (1) by dragging it to the left and right.

The other option is to right-click a column (1) and click the button named Autosize this column button (2) in the context menu. The column widths will be adjusted based on the widest column.

2 How to add and hide columns

Columns can be hidden or added via the context menu. Changes in that respect are saved automatically, too.

To hide a column, a column (1) has to be right-clicked. This opens the context menu where the Hide column button (2) has to be clicked.

By clicking the plus icon (1) a menu opens where the Add hidden columns button (2) has to be clicked. To display a column, it has to be ticked via a checkbox (3). Clicking the Apply changes button (4) confirms the action.

By right-clicking the column (1), the context menu (framed) opens. Here, the column can only be moved to the start (2) or end (3), but not to a spot in between, in contrast to drag and drop.

4 How to sort contents within a column

Contents within a column can be sorted either by clicking the column or by using the context menu. The way the columns are sorted is saved automatically, as well.

By clicking the columns, items can be sorted in the desired order, e. g. according to Content title (1) from a to z and vice versa. The arrow (2) indicates if the order is descending (⬇️) or ascending(⬆️).

The alternative way is to sort a column is to right-click it, e. g. Content title (1), and click sort by (2).

When numbers and letters are mixed, numbers are considered before letters, e. g. Content no. (1) and content serie no. (2).

The order can also be based purely on numbers, e. g or Duration (3).

5 How to select number of items and the table page

Depending on the number of contents contained, tables may contain multiple pages. Therefore, users can select the page and decide how many contents are displayed per single page.
