Column settings control which columns appear and in what order, for all scans in CATS.

There are a few ways in which CATS allows you to change columns in a scan. Go to the maintenance from the main menu, or use the question mark feature on the actual scan.

Change Columns from Setup

To change and/or order the column, go to Maintenance > Setup > Displayed Columns.

Setup for displayed columns

A list of all scans will show on the screen. Select the scan you want to edit and then press Continue.

Select columns to edit.

Here you can modify or change the columns. The ones with numbers already, show what is picked for a particular scan. Enter a number in the Order column for each heading you wish to see on the report. Lines with zeroes will not be displayed. Use Tools to delete a column. Move will change the order.

Choose the columns to be displayed

Exit will save any changes and return to the previous screen.

Change Columns from a Scan

For example, go to the main menu and select Accounting > Ledger Scan.

Accounting Ledger Scan

The ledger scan will come up and then you choose the Question Mark and then Modify Scan from the menu.

Ledger Scan Modify

Here you can modify or change the columns. The order column, in this example, is numbered 1 to 26. All columns with numbers will show up on the scan.

If you do not want certain columns on the scan enter 0.

Ledger Scan Change Column Numbers

Exit takes you back to the ledger scan screen.

You can change how columns appear on forms in CATS. For example, here is a printed DO that needs the location column printed on it. [] Go to
