Step 2: Click on the three-dot menu to access column settings. Clicking on it will provide a dropdown of various settings options.

This is handy when you have numerous entries and you want to quickly locate specific ones. Advanced Features Overview: 1. Managing Columns In the 'Columns' dropdown, you'll notice checkboxes. Checking these boxes determines which columns are displayed on the page. Once you've made your selection, click the 'Apply' button to update the listing view. The view will reflect your choices.
