Personalization, customization, flexibility… we love it! These great functions help us to “feel at home” and adjust the software to our specific needs. Take the “Form Settings” windows for example. It enables each user to choose which columns would appear in a document or report table, in what sequence and in many cases which ones should be editable and which in “read only” mode. This set of columns is then saved for you until you decide to change it again. If you ever did it, you know that sometimes this list of available columns is very long and it may take a while to find the specific column you need.
