About the table layout

{% data reusables.projects.about-table-layout %}

For more information about changing a view to use the table layout, see "AUTOTITLE."

Showing and hiding fields

You can show or hide a specific field.

{% data reusables.projects.customize.show-hide-field %}

You can also hide individual fields using the field headers.

1. Next to the field you want to hide, click {% octicon "kebab-horizontal" aria-label="Status column options" %}.
2. Click {% octicon "eye-closed" aria-hidden="true" %} Hide field.

Grouping by field values

You can group items by a custom field value. When items are grouped, if you drag an item to a new group, the value of that group is applied. For example, if you group by "Status" and then drag an item with a status of In progress to the Done group, the status of the item will switch to Done. Similarly, when you add a new item to a group, the new item is populated with the value of the group.

{% data reusables.projects.customize.group-fields %}

2. While continuing to click, drag the field to the required location.
