Add a New Text Column
- In the upper-right tab panel, select Field (or Segment and Segment Group or Table, depending on the element you want to modify). You’ll see the attributes/columns that are already present. Grayed-out columns are standard and cannot be modified.
- Click Add… A new row is added
- Modify the sorting sequence if needed
- Indicate if the column should appear in the Word Document Report
- Give it a name by clicking in the column name cell and typing in a short phrase name. This name is going to be displayed as the column header.
- Select the column type: String
- Click OK
You are now ready to populate the new column with text:
- Expand the selected profile
- Select a segment so fields are listed (choose a different profile element as needed)
- The new column is now added to the field grid. You can enter text.
Add a New List Column or Picklist
List columns are useful when you’re able to define valid values for the column — in other words, a picklist.
- In the upper-right tab panel, select Table (or Segment and Segment Group or Field depending on the element you want to modify). You’ll see the attributes/columns that are already present. Grayed-out columns are standard and cannot be modified.
- Click Add… A new row is added
- Modify the sorting sequence if needed
- Indicate if the column should appear in the export to Word Document
- Give it a name by clicking in the column name cell and typing in a short phrase name. This name is going to be displayed as column header.
- Select the column type: List
- A new table Values appears below. Populate this table with your picklist values as follows:
- Click Add… A new value row is added
- Give the new value a label.
- Enter the value in the VALUE cell
- Repeat as needed
Next, populate the profile:
- Expand the selected profile in the Library
- Select a field with an associated table
The new column is now added to the table content. You can pick values from the picklist to assign values to the cell.
