Add / remove / change order of columns in Organize Space

We would like to be able to add, remove, change the order of columns in Organize Space and in the content folders and the inboxes just like in Browse Repository in the client tools.

  • Experience from professional services is that re-configuring this during upgrades from non-TD15 to a TD15 release is time consuming.

    In the old days we had a similar challenge for the column settings for publication manager. As soon as the field picker was introduced, any demand to carry over this type of system-wide configuration settings disappeared as snow in sunlight. This to highlight that users can perfectly manage this part of the configuration when it becomes configurable.

  • Hi Andriy,

    Yes, per-users setting is what would help us. Since we have different users / roles in the system they have different needs in terms of which columns are more important for them, just like Sam points out in his comment..

  • Hello  ,
    Thank you for your idea.

    There is a possibility in the product to customize out-of-the-box configuration for different lists via Metadata.config file

    Documentation for this can be found here: https://docs.rws.com/en-US/tridion-docs-main-documentation-1151795/metadataconfig-xml-structure-for-list-views-64668 
    However, this is a system-wide setting.

    Based on your experience do you think that users in your company require an option for a per-user setting? 
    Also would be interesting to know if such a configuration option is required per different lists or a general setting per user for all lists.
    Thank you

  • From Docs User Group: We all agree this would be a nice feature to have, especially to unify the UX experience as Pia has mentioned. For those working routinely in specific view-based manners, being able to set and persist the columns saves time in configuration over the long run.
