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

Select from the scan list, 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 form. 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

To change columns from a scan, go to any scan and use the question mark feature. 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.

Delivery order form print out

Go to Maintenance > Setup > Displayed Columns and select the marks columns template you want to edit. In this example, we choose MKDO. Press Continue.

Change columns on DO

Add in the column you want by placing a number under the Order column. Exit will save any changes and return to the previous screen.

The column has been added. It will now show up on the delivery order.
