With the Multi-Column view, records assume a more spreadsheet-like display, organizing your data across multiple columns. Each column represents a separate field in your form.
Your record details will be displayed in an area below. You can adjust the split screen to view more or less of the record details below. Or you can hide the record details altogether and just work with the Multi-Column List View.
Benefits
Fields in this view can be compared almost instantly, and the Multi-Column view is perhaps best used for getting an overall idea of your particular record. Multi-Column works best for records that are text-heavy, although you can display image thumbnails, but due to the nature of this view, the thumbnails will be tiny.
Another benefit of using the Multi-Column view is the ability to instantly jump to a particular field and edit its data – in most other views, you’d be required to click on a record and edit the information there. However, though there is still the default record layout along the bottom, the spreadsheet offers quick editing functionality.
Editing the Multi-Column View
Like spreadsheets, the size of the cells in the Multi-Column view can be increased or decreased by clicking and dragging on their edges and dragging back and forth. Along the top of the view is a slider to change the font size, as well as an option to remove sections in the spreadsheet. Just the same as the Single Column List View, you can enable or disable section headings and group summaries.
To remove or rearrange fields from the table view:
- Open the Multi-Column view
- Click the icon resembling an “x” at the end of the header row
- Tick the boxes to hide any fields from the table
- Drag the fields above and below other fields to rearrange their positions
- Click the Save button when done
To display sections with sub-totals:
- Click the button that resembles a little menu at the top-right of the Multi-Column view
- Select the Show Section Headings option
- Select the Show Group Summaries option
There is also a row at the very bottom which displays field totals, averages, counts, etc. Click the Sigma ∑ button to show or hide the Calculations Row. From there you can click on the popup buttons to choose what kind of value you want to display below all the records for the individual columns.
