Add or Remove Column(s) on the Control Panel

This article summarizes how to add and remove columns from the Control Panel Grid. When the Backflow software opens, it defaults to the Control Panel view. Adding extra columns can make it easier to filter and sort data across different fields.

The Control Panel shows available work for all active facilities, rather than specific facility information. Users can remove or re-add any of the default columns; however, Control Panel configurations are not stored between sessions, so the Control Panel resets to the default columns upon each login.

Add/Remove Columns

1. Navigate to the Control Panel. The Control Panel can be accessed via the left navigation menu or the “Control Panel” button from the header buttons
   

2. Click on the right side of any column header to reveal a menu

   

3. From the drop-down menu select the "Columns" option to reveal checkboxes for all column options. When the box is checked, the column will appear on the Control Panel.
   Note: The screen size of a tablet or mobile phone may prohibit visibility of columns.
