Role required: personalize_list or admin

Procedure

  1. Open the list.
  2. Select the personalize list icon (Personalize list icon) in the right corner.
  3. Select the columns and the desired order.

    Personalize list columns

    Note: Values in the first column appear as links. If the first column isn’t a reference field, the link opens the record from the list, as expected. If the first column is a reference field, the link opens the record from the referenced table. This behavior can be confusing. For this reason, avoid using a reference field as the first column.
  4. Select display options.
    Note: These options apply to all lists, not just the view you’re personalizing.
