Table View: Lock displayed fields to prevent new fields from appearing in the existing tables

dabay · March 7, 2016 12:30PM

Hello,

Is there a way to lock the displayed fields for each existing table view, so if you add extra fields to the Omniscope block in the data manager tab it does not mess up your existing tables? e.g. see screenshot below where the extra columns appear appended to the table which is undesirable.

Depends what you intend to use those added fields for... You could use
Data>Manage fields >Hide Field
option to hide the fields from the tables, but keep them available for data visualisation for example.

Need to use the additional fields in new tabs, but I don't want it to affect the existing table views in the existing tabs - e.g. when I am appending different datasets together to display in different tabs in the same report. Is this possible to do without hiding the fields in the manage fields box?

On the tabs where you do not wish the new fields to appear:

Settings>Advanced tab settings>Freeze visible fields
