Define Columns Tab

Use this tab to customize the columns that you see in the Details pane when you click on a control account metric.

Each metric typically evaluates different data fields. This allows you to specify a default set of display fields that are helpful at analyzing the results of the specific metric.

You can copy a list of columns and paste them into another metric.

The fields that you specify here are saved to the metric template. If you load a different template, it will display the default columns.

Tip: To copy columns from one metric to another, click on the first column, hold SHIFT and click on the last column for a contiguous selection, or click on the first column, hold CTRL, and click other columns that you want to select for a non-contiguous selection. Copy the columns (CTRL + C), select a different metric, and paste (CTRL + P) them onto the Define Columns tab.
