Grid Column Layout and Visibility

Learn how to control column layout and visibility on the Entity Search UI.

Entity Search UI - Column Sequencing

The columns in the Search UI results grid are sequenced as follows:

  1. Title fields are displayed first.

  2. The non-title fields are displayed as per their visibility settings in order of their Group and sequence within the Group.


Entity Search UI - Column Visibility

Visibility for a Field's column can be controlled by using the Field's List Display > Default List Column Visibility property.

  • Always: It makes the column visible.

  • Never: It hides the column.

  • Custom: Can be used for conditional visibility along with providing a condition evaluation script in the List Display > Custom Column Visibility Script property.

  • Default/Blank: See visibility conditions below.

When the Entity Field's Default List Column Visibility is default/blank, then the column visibility is dependent on the following 3 criteria:

  1. Is the field a Title Property.

  2. Is the Field in the default Group.

  3. The value of the Field's UI Properties > Visibility property.

The following table shows the conditions under which an Entity Field's column is visible on the Entity Search UI.
