Grid manager: categorized column configuration

Categorized Column Configuration

This configuration displays all the columns by their category.
The advantage of this configuration is that you can easily check all columns within a category to add them to the grid; whether visible or not.

To quickly check all columns within a single category, simply click on the category name's checkbox in the Is Visible column:

• If checked, all the columns will be displayed in the grid.

• If unchecked, none of these columns will be displayed in the grid.

• If half-checked, this indicates a mix: one or more (but not all) columns will be displayed in the grid.

NOTE

Considerations for multi-header columns The following note applies to the Categorized Column Configuration: Some tools employ multi-header columns. For example, in replicationEZ a column like Database Full Path will appear under each server name. When using multi-header columns like this, the Grid Manager's Categorized Column Configuration will represent all of these columns with a single Column Title under a single category. This allows you to manage similar columns from different servers with a single title in the Grid Manager. Alternatively, only the Live Column Configuration manages similar columns per server. In this case the Grid Manager will display a category for each server by name. Each server's category will then list all columns for that server.
