Find 5 differences: hide & show column

Hi all!

Today I would like to tell you about hiding/showing fields on the form/page in different interfaces.

As you remember in NAV 2009 version in the “Classic” interface:

• to hide a column you should click the right mouse button and select the Hide Column.
• to show column you should select Show Column, tick required fields and click OK.
  
  

In RTC (Business Central, NAV 2018 etc.) you should click the right mouse button, select Choose Columns and Add or Remove fields:

In Web client (for example in Business Central) should click the right mouse button, select Choose Columns and Add or Remove fields

You can use the function Show More Columns to show all available fields:

Or you can use the Show Fewer Columns feature to display fields that you previously selected using the Choose Columns feature:

Note: On-premise version you can use Design to modify pages but don’t abuse this feature because the system propose to save your interface modifications as extension.

For adding fields click Design > More:

Then click  + Field:

And Drag-and-Drop required field from the list to the page:

Click Stop designing and save your modifications as extension:

On Cloud version you can use Personalise feature to add/remove fields.

This feature allows to save interface modifications only for one user.

Then you can add / remove fields in the same drag-and-drop way as in the case of Design. When you use Personalization the changes do not need to be saved as extension.
