Columns to Display

What fields do you want to show on your report? In what order should they appear?

Use the Report Builder's Columns to Display section to specify which columns (fields) should appear in your report, and in what order. If you make no choices in this section, QuickBase falls back on the reporting defaults established for the table..

Tip: If you have the report displayed on your screen, you don't need to open the report builder to adjust columns. QuickBase lets you add, hide or move columns directly within the report itself! You can even add columns from related tables and change display options like alignment. Read how

To specify the columns you want to display in a report:

  1. Within the Columns to Display section, select Custom columns.

  2. In the Available Columns box, select a field and then click Add to report. The field now appears in the Your Columns box.


    All columns listed in the Your Columns box will appear in your report.
    They'll display from left to right in the order shown here. In other words, the field on top
    displays furthest to the left. Use buttons on the right to change the order (see Step 4).

  3. Repeat step 2 as many times as necessary.

  4. Set column order.

    The field at the top of the list will appear as the leftmost column in your report. You can easily change the order by working within the Your Columns box. Click a field to select it, and then on the right side of the list, click an arrow button to move the field up or down in the list.
