Best Practices
Keep It Clean
Show only the columns you actually need. A cleaner table is easier to scan.
Prioritize Key Data
Put your most important columns near the left so they're always visible.
Resize for Content
Make columns wider for content that needs more space (like Description).
Use Categories
Enable category columns (like Certifications or Sustainability) only when you're specifically looking for that data.
Saved Preferences
Your column preferences are saved automatically:
- Which columns are visible
- Column order
- Column widths
These preferences persist across sessions and are stored locally in your browser. They're specific to each browser — if you use a different browser, you'll have default settings.
