The window serves for creating, deleting, selecting and editing configuration of columns. The window consists of two parts. The left part displays a list of column configurations, the right part is used for editing the properties of the currently selected configuration.
The configuration list contains two system configuration columns
$current and
$default, which cannot be deleted, renamed or moved to another position. The system configuration
$current represents the currently displayed columns in the variable table. This configuration is automatically activated, e.g. after hiding the selected column or after splitting the selected column into sub-columns. The system configuration
$default restores the display of columns in the variable table to their default form. All designer-created configuration of columns are stored in the application INI file and can be used in the variable tables of other Pma objects.
Each configuration of columns contains a list of columns to be displayed in the table of variables. Each column displays the selected variable property or data extension property. The first column in the list, which displays the name of the variable, is mandatory and cannot be deleted, edited, or moved to another position.
This configuration window can be opened by the "

" button or in the menu "
Column context menu > Configuration of columns ..." in the editor of
Pma objects on the "
PmaObject > Data" tab.
