Column management

Customize columns and layout

Column management is done in the Grid Columns Manager panel, opened from the header (column manager button).

What you can do

  • Reorder columns – Drag-and-drop list of columns (e.g. with a grip icon). Order is applied to the grid and saved. The grid reads saved column state from localStorage (e.g. fleekdash_posts_agrid_state_<postType>) so order (and visibility) persist.

  • Show/hide columns – Each column has a switch or eye button. Turning a column off hides it in the grid. State is saved with the same key as order.

  • Rename column headers – An edit (pencil) control next to the column name lets you type a new header name. On save, the grid header updates and the custom name can be stored in column config so it persists.

Reset to defaults

  • A Reset to defaults (or similar) action restores the default column set and order for that post type. Useful if the layout gets too customized or something goes wrong.

Context: Posts vs Dashboard

  • Column state is stored per context: e.g. "posts" for the main Posts list and "dashboard" for the dashboard pending grid. So you can have one layout for the full list and another for the dashboard widget.

Benefit: Focus on the columns you care about, in the order you like, with names that match your workflow. And keep that layout across sessions.
