How to Customise Tables

Complete step-by-step workflow guide for table customisation and data display in construction project management

Table customisation helps you create tailored views for better reporting and communication by displaying exactly the data you need. Use these features to focus on relevant information and improve project visibility.

Before you start

  • Navigate to any project page with data tables (Cost or Risk modules).
  • Identify which data columns are most important for your reporting needs.

  2. Locate the data table with various columns.
  3. Click Columns at the top right corner of the table. Alternatively, hover over any column header, click the Action button and select Adjust Columns from the dropdown.
  4. Use the checkboxes in the column selection panel to show or hide columns. Check a box to add a column to your table view, or uncheck it to remove the column.
  5. Click Show All to display all available columns, or click Reset to return to the default column selection.

Expand and collapse table data

  1. Click Expand All beside the Columns button to show all detailed data including sub-rows.
  2. Click Collapse All to return to the main data view and hide sub-level details.
  3. Click Reset to return to the default table view.

Filter table data

  1. Click the Filter button at the top of the table (beside Columns). Alternatively, hover over any column header and click the Action button to access Filter from the dropdown.
  2. Select a column from the Columns dropdown (e.g., Title).
  3. Choose an operator from the Operator dropdown (e.g., "contains", "is any of").
  4. Enter or select a value in the Value field.
  5. Click + Add filter to create additional filter rows.
  6. Use the And/Or dropdown between filters to set the logical relationship.

Filters apply automatically as you create them. To remove a filter, click the X beside it. To clear all applied filters, click Remove all.

Resize and reorder columns

Resize columns

Troubleshooting and FAQs

QuestionAnswer
Why aren't my table customisations saving?Personal table customisations in registers do not auto-apply to tables on your report or dashboard. To keep customisations, apply them to a dashboard table. Dashboard changes save automatically.
Can I save a filter to reuse later?Filters in registers remain active until you click Reset or Remove all. Filters applied to dashboard tables are saved automatically and can be restored using Version History if needed.
