  3. On the Custom Grids tab, click insert on the toolbar of the Custom Grids grid.

  5. In the Custom Columns grid, click to add a row to the grid and enter information about the column for the grid.
  6. Repeat step 5 to add more columns to the grid.
  7. Repeat steps 3–5 to add more grids to a tab.
    The Custom Columns grid displays the columns for the grid that you have selected in the Custom Grids grid.
  8. Complete the following steps to change the order of the multiple columns that you add to a tab and the order of the columns in a grids.
    Option Description
