Format the columns in a tabular view and change the look of the columns and data. You may want to change the label used as the column heading. For example, if the column label is much longer than the data in the column, create a shorter column label. You can also change the column width to a specific number of characters or select the Best Fit option, which automatically sizes the column to fit its longest entry. In addition, you can change the text alignment in the column to Left , Center , or Right .

Some fields allow you to change the format used for icons or data in the field. You may prefer to display text instead of an icon for a field. You can also change the format of dates, times, and durations. For example, instead of displaying the data in the Start column in the Fri 4/29/2007 3:00 PM format, you can select the Fri 4/29 format and omit the year and time.
