◦

: Edit the field to display, and the width allowed for the column.

NOTE: The width indicates the amount of available page width that is assigned to the field column. For example, if you have 10 columns, and each column is assigned a width of 10, the total of all numbers in the Width column would be 100. Therefore, each field column would have a width of 10 percent of the available page width. If the total of all numbers in the Width column is more or less than 100, the numbers are normalized to percentages to determine the width. For example, if you have three columns, and you assign a width of 10 to each column, the total of all numbers in the Width column would be 30. However, when normalized to percentages, the width of each column would be approximately 33.3 percent.
