# Column chooser
> Customise which columns appear in table views across Visualcare
Most table views in Visualcare let you add, remove, and rearrange columns using the column chooser. This gives you control over what data is visible without changing the underlying records.
The column chooser is available on tables throughout VCore, including incidents, notes, timesheets, compliance registers, client and worker lists, and roster views.
## Using the column chooser
### Adding columns
1. Click the **Column Chooser** button above the table (it may appear as a grid or drag icon depending on the view)
2. A panel opens showing all available columns that aren't currently displayed
3. Drag a column from the panel into the table header row at the position you want it
The column appears immediately and the table updates with the new data.
### Removing columns
Drag a column header out of the table and back into the column chooser panel. The column is removed from the view but the data is still available to add back at any time.
### Rearranging columns
Drag column headers left or right within the table to change their order. Drop the header at the position you want.
## Column persistence
Your column chooser settings are saved per user account. When you customise a table view, your changes persist the next time you return to that page. Other users aren't affected by your changes.
Set up your preferred columns once for each table you use regularly. The time investment pays off across every session.
## Common column chooser scenarios
The column chooser is referenced across many areas of Visualcare. Here are some of the most common uses:
| Scenario | Where | Column to add |
| ---------------------------------- | ----------------------------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| Delete a note | **Client Profile** → **Notes** tab | **Delete** column (requires the "Ability to delete note" permission) |
| View incident IDs | **Operations** → **Incidents** | **Incident ID** column |
| See compliance expiry dates | **Worker** or **Client Compliance** tab | **Expiry Date**, **Alert Date** columns |
| Track SIRS reporting status | **Operations** → **Incidents** → **SIRS** | Response dates, assigned user, and reporting status columns |
| Review shift details in timesheets | **Timesheets** | Worker-specific or service-specific columns |
## Filtering and grouping
Alongside the column chooser, most tables support:
* **Column filters** to narrow results within a specific column (click the filter icon on a column header)
* **Search** to find records by keyword across all visible columns
* **Column grouping** to group rows by a column value (drag a column header to the grouping area above the table)
These tools work together with the column chooser to give you a tailored view of your data.
