Manipulate admin console columns
The Optimizely Configured Commerce Advanced Grid is a dynamic feature which allows users to adjust column appearance within a record list, including resizing, reordering, and adding additional columns to optimize the list's view. This optimized view is unique to the user, and automatically saves for reuse.
The Advanced Grid functionality is available in multiple sections of the Admin Console, including Sales, Catalog, and Customers. To access the Advanced Grid, click a correlating section, such as Catalog > Products.
Resizing columns
Resize existing columns to view more or less column data.
- Hover over the line between two columns, and a double-headed arrow appears.
- Click and hold the column separator, then drag the column line left or right to shrink or enlarge the column.
Note
If the collective width of the columns exceeds the length of the window, a horizontal scrollbar appears at the bottom of the screen.
Once columns are resized, changes are saved automatically. Columns remain resized if the user goes to a different screen, or if the user logs out and logs back in.
Note
The Select and Edit (or View) columns are locked, and cannot be resized.
Reordering columns
Reorder existing columns to view the most important data first.
Click a column header, and drag it to the appropriate location.
Once columns are reordered, changes save automatically. Columns remain reordered if the user goes to a different screen or if the user logs out and logs back in.
Note
The Select and Edit (or View) columns are locked, and cannot be reordered. Additionally, other columns cannot be moved ahead of or between the locked columns.
