The Columns band allows the user to add new columns to a table in the Table Editor. In addition, the user can use this band to make changes to columns that have already been created.
Add Column
Clicking this icon opens a dialog box which allows the user to add a new column to the table. The user names the new column and can choose to make it for a statistic, keyword, or formula. Additionally, the user is able to select the visibility of the column and decide whether or not to define the column as a control.
Edit Column
Clicking this icon opens a dialog box that allows the user to make changes to the selected column. The user has the same options as when creating a new column: he or she can name the column, define it as a control, hide it, and choose whether it is for a statistic, keyword, or formula.
Keywords
Clicking this icon allows the user to include columns based on FCS or custom keywords from sample files in the table. These columns are useful in making comparisons between the statistics displayed in the table and other characteristics of the samples.
