Modified on Tue, 5 Aug at 1:16 PM

Column customisation allows you to select which columns you want to see when you view a Storage Platform, Group or StorageServer in the Storage Platform Console. See Article 534 on how to customise your column selection.

You can also create custom columns based on your unique data management needs. This is done during the deployment of a new ESE Agent.

To create a custom column for a group, follow the steps below.

1. In the Storage Platform Console, select the relevant group and click Deploy

2. When the Deployment Wizard opens, enable Show Advanced Options.
