# Customize table columns

Add, arrange, and hide columns in a table view.

Use the column header menu to configure columns in the current table view.

Columns display fields in a table view. A field stores data in the table.

{% hint style="info" %}
These changes affect only the current view. They do not change the stored field values.
{% endhint %}

For sorting, filtering, and grouping, see [Organize table records](/builder-hub/visualize-and-organize-your-data/customize-your-tables/organize-table-records.md).

## Rename columns

Rename a column to use a clearer name in the current table view.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the column menu

Click the header of the column you want to rename.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Rename the column

Select **Rename column**. Enter the new name, then save your changes.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Duplicate columns

Duplicate a column when you need another view-specific column with the same configuration.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

Click the header of the column you want to duplicate.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the column menu

Click the header of the column beside the new column.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}

#### Insert the column

Select **Insert column left** or **Insert column right**.

Choose an existing field or create a new field.
{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

## Hide columns

Hide columns when you want to focus the table on selected fields.

{% stepper %}
{% step %}

#### Open the column menu

Click the header of the column you want to hide.
{% endstep %}

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.ninox.com/builder-hub/visualize-and-organize-your-data/customize-your-tables/customize-table-columns.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
