Calendar Board and Map Tables
Tabs and panes on the calendar boards and maps contain tables on the calendar boards and maps display relevant objects or details in each row and a key setting of the object or detail in each column. The forms provide interaction between the tables and the calendar or map (such as when a service order is dragged to the appropriate day and time on the calendar).
The table toolbar may have elements (boxes and buttons) you can use to filter the information that is displayed in the table. Also, the table footer may have navigation elements you can use if not all table rows can be viewed at the same time.
The following screenshot show examples of tables and their toolbars. The left table shows a list of service orders (which spans multiple pages, as the table footer illustrates), and the right lists routes.

Modification of the Layout of Tables
To modify the table columns, you use the Column Configuration dialog box (see the screenshot below). You can make the following changes:

- Sort records in a particular table (as described in To Sort Table Rows Based on a Column)
To open the Column Configuration dialog box, click the Column Configuration button (the arrow right of each column), as shown in the following screenshot.

The elements in the Column Configuration dialog box are described below.

Sort Descending | Sorts the records based on the values in this column: from the highest value to the lowest value. |
Columns | Opens the list of the table columns, where selected check boxes indicate columns to be displayed in the table. |
In each table, you can also change the width and order of columns. To change the width, Move the pointer over the column split line (the line dividing two columns). When the pointer becomes a double-headed arrow, drag the pointer left or right to move the line. To change the order of the columns, drag the column header to the desired position. Note the arrows that indicate the exact position where the column can be dropped (see the screenshot below).
