# Customising the list pane

The list pane is the top portion of a Content Manager search results window, which lists the items.

The columns in some functions are mandatory and cannot be removed - however, you can put them in a different order.

Customising the window columns

1. In the window to customise, right-click the column header row of the list pane for the commands:
   - Sort Ascending - sorts the list in ascending order
   - Sort Descending - sorts the list in descending order
   - Display - set how column header icon and text caption appear:
     - Icon
     - Text
     - Icon and Text
   - Alignment - set how the text in the selected column appears:
     - Left
     - Centred
     - Right
   - Best Fit - fits the selected column to the size of the largest data item
   - Best Fit All Columns - fits all columns to the size of the largest data item in each column
   - Remove this Column - removes the selected column from the display
   - Format Columns - to add new columns and customise column appearance.

     The Column Preferences dialogue box appears.

     It depends on the window you are using which columns appear here.

     - Available Columns - available columns for the current window

     TIP: The list of Available Columns can be refined by searching for specific words using the Search field, e.g. to find fields that are Date type fields or have Date in their caption, type date in the Search field and the Available Columns list will reload to display the matching fields.

     - Displayed Columns - active columns in the current window
     - Add - add a column from the Available Columns list to the Displayed Columns list
     - Remove - remove a column from the Displayed Columns list
     - Up / Down - move a column up or down the list, changing the position the column appears in
     - Right-click one of the columns in the Displayed Columns list for the options:
       - Display Icon
       - Display Text
       - Display Icon and Text
       - Align Left
       - Align Centred
       - Align Right
       - Set Width - set the column width in pixels with the Column Width dialogue box
       - Best Fit - increase or decrease the column width to fit the largest data item in that column
2. Click OK to save your changes.
