# Manage Columns and Rows

From Cortex Xpanse pages, you can manage how you want to view the results table and what information you want Cortex Xpanse app to display.

Any adjustments you make to the columns or rows persist when you navigate away from and later return to the page.

1. Adjust the row height and column width:
   1. On the Cortex Xpanse page, select the menu indicated by three vertical dots to the right of the filter button.
   2. In **View Configuration**, select the desired:
      * Row height ranges from short to tall (![row-view-options-icon.png](/files/PnGOjEeJ5IIfuaMHPBSW)).
      * Column width ranges from narrow, fixed width, or scaled to the column heading (![column-view-options-icon.png](/files/GWD9bMCu0os4f0cXFvME)).
2. Add or remove fields in the table:
   1. On the Cortex Xpanse page, select the menu indicated by three vertical dots to the right of the filter button.
   2. Below the column manager, search for a column by name, or select the fields you want to add or clear any fields you want to hide.

      Cortex Xpanse adds or removes the fields to the table as you select or clear the fields.
   3. If desired, drag and drop the fields to change the order in which they appear in the table.
3. Configure the order of the columns:

   Define the order in which you want to display the field columns using the column index number. The column index number is the relative column number displayed in the table.

   1. On the Cortex Xpanse page, select the number (![column-index-number.png](/files/oAUWtdL74fkent9QsOhC)) assigned to the field name you want to change.
   2. Enter the relative column number you want the field displayed in the table. The number you enter should not be greater that the number of columns.

This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://cortex-docs.paloaltonetworks.com/cortex-xpanse/reference/list-view-options/manage-columns-and-rows.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
