The Column tab sets the maximum length of each column cell data string. Certain column data cells have long data strings, which might make the data difficult to read in the grid format. The column customization feature enables you to control the maximum characters to display for each column cell.
The depth column properties refer to grid data. For example, Depth 1 is the initial grid data the user sees. If a user clicks a link in the first grid data that goes to another list of grid data, the second list of grid data is Depth 2 of the grid data, and so on, to Depth 5.
You can set the length of each column in each depth by selecting a column from the drop-down list, and entering the maximum number of characters that can display in that column.
For example, on Depth 1, you may want to set column 1 to display 5 characters. Select “column 1” from the drop-down list, and enter “5” in the text box. Move the mouse so the focus is changed to a different field to save the entry for that column. Repeat the procedure to set column 2, and so on.
