Opportunity Forecast Columns Tab

Use the Columns tab to select or clear columns, change column sequence, provide new column labels, set column widths, or select number and date formats.

Grid Type Columns

Most available columns display data from the Opportunity Info Center. In addition, you can use this tab to include columns that contain associated data. These are called "grid columns."

The list of columns in this topic includes all available grid columns. However, the grid columns that actually display on the Columns tab vary based on your selection in Grid Type on the General tab of the Options dialog box. The grid column labels begin with the grid type. For example, each of the Contact grid column labels begins with Contacts - (Contacts - Name, Contacts - Title, and so on).
