### Change Table Column Preferences

2. To add columns to right panel, in *Predefined Columns*, select and click **Add►**.
3. To remove columns from right panel, in right side panel, select and click ◄**Remove**.
4. Click **Save**.

### Step 1 – Create Custom Columns (per Device)

These provide additional organization of data on connected devices, custom columns can be created and enabled. This is a two-step process. First create the custom column, then add the custom column(s) to the individual device.

This two-step procedure connects the device's custom column to the device's custom field displayed in tables that contain that device's settings/values.

1. Go to *Managed Devices :: Preferences :: Views*.
2. In the **Custom Columns** text box, enter the column name. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/763c5fb1-b9af-4ccd-9ad6-cf28ae4cd5a3/Images/Documentation/image-1678818276628.png)
3. To add multiple columns, separate each name with a comma. ![](https://cdn.document360.io/763c5fb1-b9af-4ccd-9ad6-cf28ae4cd5a3/Images/Documentation/image-1678818294302.png)
4. Click **Save**.

**NOTE**The new custom column(s) do not appear on the *Access :: Devices* page until the associated device and column is enabled.
