What are Column Settings?
Column settings control what data you see in the sections of AMS+. You can customize column settings so you can see information relevant to your agency. You can even display custom field information.

Searching & Sorting
You can search and filter records to find what you need. A field does not have to be displayed in order for you to search for it. Additionally, not all data displayed is searchable. Check out the article on Searching All records and Quick Search for what is searchable.
Also, you can sort the columns by clicking on the column heading. This quickly sorts the data by the column selected.
