Customize Columns Panel¶
This panel enables you to select the table headers displayed in the Result menu. Each search target (in the Search Target dropdown) has its default parameters. The default parameters are those marked with gray checkboxes in the Result menu.
Defining the table headers can be done before (in the Info menu) or after (in the Result menu) performing the search.
