# Configuring Columns

**Marlin Tyre and Mechanical Workshop Software** allows the columns of most module search lists to be configured to help streamline workshop operations.

Custom column sets can be created for individual modules and applied for different users across an entire company.

Multiple column sets can also be created for the same module, and then switched between by managing column sets.

## Configuring Columns

Right-click on the column toolbar and select **Configure Columns** (if available).

The **Column Set** pop-up window will open, showing a list of the current columns.

Configuring the columns will create a new column set, which can be applied to the current module.

The **Name** textbox at the top can be used to rename the column set, if desired.

By default, the **Company Default** checkbox below will be ticked.

- Leaving the Company Default checkbox ticked will apply the new column set for all users within the company who have not set their own custom column sets.
- To only apply the column configuration for the current user, untick the Company Default checkbox.

Below is the **Columns** list, which can be used to add, remove and organise columns.

The order of columns can be changed by dragging and dropping them into different positions in the list.

The sort priority of the columns can be specified using the **Sort Direction** and **Sort Priority** columns.

The width of a column can be manually set by entering a pixel value in the **Width** cell.

          Tip

          

Column widths can be quickly configured and saved by resizing in the list itself, by dragging the line between two column headings, then opening the Configure Columns by right clicking on the column headings and click Save to make the newly sized columns be remembered

### Adding Columns to Column Sets

To the top right of the Columns list, click on the **Add** action button.

The **Add Columns** pop-up window will open, showing a list of columns that can be added to the column set.

To add a column to the column set, tick the checkbox to its left.

Multiple columns can be added at once.

Once all desired columns have been selected, click the **Ok** button at the bottom-left to add them to the column set and return to the Column Set window.

### Deleting Columns from Column Sets

In the Columns list, select the column to delete and then click on the **Delete** action button to the top right.

The **Delete** pop-up window will open asking to confirm the deletion.

To confirm the deletion and return to the Column Set window.

### Saving Column Sets

To apply the column configuration immediately but not permanently, click on the **Ok** button at the bottom right of the Column Set window.

Closing and reopening the module will revert back to the default column set.

Alternatively, to save the new column set as the ongoing default for the module, click the **Save** button at the bottom right of the Column Set window.

Otherwise, to save a copy of the column set, rename the column set using the Name textbox at the top of the Column Set window and then click the **Save As** button at the bottom right.

## Managing Column Sets

Right-click on the column toolbar and select **Manage Column Sets** (if available).

The **Manage Column Sets** pop-up window will open, showing a list of available column sets for the current module.

To make a column set the default for the current module, tick the relevant checkbox in the **Default** column.

Column sets can be configured as usual by clicking on the **Edit** button in the relevant **Edit** cell, which will open the Column Set pop-up window.
