### 5.6.2. Specifying List Display Preferences

You can control the way in which rows and columns are displayed in the file list window, and choose which columns you want to display.

1. Click the user profile drop box on the title bar and select Settings.

2. In the Settings dialog box, select the Preferences tab.

3. In the navigation pane, select List Display.

Figure 5.26: List Display Preferences

The List Display option enables you to pick the specific properties that you want displayed for each object type in EKM. The total column properties that are displayed for the parent folder is then the sum of all the column preferences that you set for the child objects.

For each object type you want to customize the display for, select the Object type from the drop-down list and define the display settings. Click OK when you are finished.

List Display preferences include:

- Rows per page in list display: Choose the number of rows per page that you want to show in the List display in the file list window. If the parent folder contains more objects than your preferred number of rows, the leftover objects are displayed on a new page and navigation buttons appear.

- Select columns to display: Select a specific object type that you want to be displayed in the list. The default `Any Type` displays all.

- Standard columns / Additional columns: Select the properties you want to display as columns in the list for the selected object type.

Note:

- The Restore Defaults button operates only on the List Display panel, and not on the Column Order panel.

- List display preferences are not available if the workspace has been configured to display a job-only view.

#### 5.6.2.1. Specifying Column Order Preferences for the List Display

Once you have chosen which columns you want to display in list displays, you can specify the order in which you want them to appear.

1. Click the user profile drop box on the title bar and select Settings.

2. In the Settings dialog box, select the Preferences tab.

3. In the navigation pane, expand the List Display option and select Column Order.

4. Use the buttons on the right side to change the order of the columns; when finished, click OK.

Note: The “Name” column in the list display always appears as the first column.
