Table Tools

Many Management Center tables provide a set of tools that let you customize table settings and help you to find, filter, sort, print, and export information in tables. You access Table Tools, either through a right-mouse click on a column heading or anywhere in the table body, or by clicking the Table Tools  button in the upper left corner of the table (if you have the row count column displayed).

Table Tool Menu Options

Right-click menu options can include the following selections, depending on the current application and the table being viewed:

  • Hide Column - hides a selected column. (You must right-click on a column heading to see this option.)
