### Important Custom Column Layout Information
26+
- In the pop up screen, name the new view (1) and click the **Table Columns** dropdown and select (2) and deselect the columns you want.

Always ensure, when creating custom column layouts that the first column is a text column. By design, the first column on a given pages view contains the hyperlink to the Device or Asset (CI's) details. If, for example, 'Status' or 'In Service' is set as the first column, the small green CheckMarks or Red 'minus' signs become the hyperlink, which can prove very confusing.

- You can reorder the columns by clicking and dragging column headings and moving them to a new position. Adjust column widths by dragging the column edges and save the desired column widths to the view by checking the **Custom Column Sizes** checkbox.
