Add column to view

When you create a Table view, your view is made up of rows of Entries and Columns which show the data in those entries.

You can add additional columns at any time to a view by clicking the Add Column link.

Add Column
The add column drop-down menu

This will reveal a drop-down menu with the column choices that apply to the entries in view. These choices will be made up of:

  • Fields from the entries in views
  • Derived fields and Formulas you have previously created
  • Last Modified: the date each entry was last edited
  • Last Modified By: the user who last edited each entry
  • Summary: a short list of all of the Field values in each entry
  • ID: the unique number that Dabble DB assigns to each entry
  • All Fields: a shortcut to make a column for every field in the entries in view
  • New Field…: create a new field for each entry in view and add it as a column

You can also add additional columns when the Summary is visible by clicking on the appropriate field.

Click to add column
Clicking a field from the Summary column.

Tips

  • If you are viewing or editing an entry, there is a shortcut button to add a column to the view from a particular field. (The button will only be visible if that field is not already visible as a column.)

  • Adding Derived fields or Formulas from an existing column’s menu will also result in a new column being added to the view.
  • Adding and removing columns from a table view will affect the Compact view and/or the Calendar view if either is available. See the information about either view for more details.
