Column selections in Reports, Watchlists, and the Spending Plan should stick (edited)

Max1223

I really appreciate that QS has added the ability to view Notes in Watchlists and Reports

BUT I'd really like the Notes to remain "checked" on as the currently, when I go to another area in QS and come back to Reports or Watchlists, the Notes box is "unchecked"

Thanks

This will be nice, given that is planned we cannot vote for it.

@UrsulaA oh I didn't see it was planned. Coach Jon asked me to post it as an idea for some reason, so great news.

UrsulaA

A coach marked it as planned today. Thanks for posting @Max1223

This is one of those would be nice to have features. It's a little funny that years ago you could at least SELECT the columns to show, but it wouldn't save, now you can't even select the columns.

EDIT oops I found manage columns by READING the post.

Today's another one of those days I wish this feature was here. With one vote, it was 'planned', mind you that was just 3 months ago, I know it's too soon to expect a fix, I just hope this isn't forgotten.

Thanks

(The request for customized columns, which included a request to make them all "sticky", has been closed. So I've had to start a new one.)

It would be nice if column customizations made to any transaction display would stick.

It is now possible to customize the columns in the transaction displays in Spending Plan, but it's not obvious how to do it. You hover over a column heading, reveal the three-dot menu, and access "Manage columns."

However… the customization does not stick. To see this, click on "Other spending" and customize the columns. If you then click on "Planned spending" and click back to "Other spending." Your customization is gone.

I customize columns because that is how I want to see them. For example, I don't use Tags but I make liberal use of Notes. It's frustrating to have to hide the Tags and reveal the Notes every time I move to a different section.

After checking the Notes column in Reports, Watchlists and in the Spending Plan, it reverts back to unchecked if I leave the page and come back.

I would like it stay checked.

The information displayed within the columns in the transaction window is very limited as far as how much you can see when a transaction window is open. There is an option to edit these columns and de-select columns that aren't even being used, but these selections don't save and must be made each time the transaction window is opened. Very annoying and would help a ton if the selections made were saved so that each time you go back to the window, you can read all the information that you need to within the window.

This was raised in another thread, and it says there that the "product team is planning to add this ability."

That request doesn't refer to the main Transaction Activity window in Accounts, but I think that one is "sticky" already.

Wondering if there is an update as to when this will be released.

Also, I don't understand why they removed the gear icon that wasn't working instead of fixing it? They have instead removed it, replaced it with less intuitive functionality (having to click the hidden ellipses over a column to 'manage columns') and we're back at square one with the column not sticking. As someone who works in software development, wouldn't it have been easier to just leverage the existing transaction grid on the main page for consistency?

@Abi Pop "I don't understand why they removed the gear icon that wasn't working instead of fixing it? "

I suggested that they make the settings gear icon "always visible" in this post. Vote for it if you like the idea…
