Saving Layouts

When you move out of a list, the columns included are returned to the defaults for the next time you display that list.

You can save the changed layout using Save View. Refer to Saving Changes to the View Layout, Modifying and Deleting Views.

Custom Fields in Clients and Jobs Lists

If you have set up Custom Fields in your practice management software or in FYI (for example, to distinguish the client type,  to record additional address or contact information, or for other indicators) you can include these as columns in the Clients list. Refer to Searching for Clients.

If Custom Fields are enabled for Jobs, these can be included as columns in the Jobs lists in FYI.
