The following procedure deals with the definition of EDE view layouts.
EDE layouts are limited to 350,000 cells. It is highly recommended that you work
with filtered layouts to avoid the creation of numerous cells that you might not need.
-
Select Window > New > Edit View to open the Edit View dialog.
OR
In an open EDE, select View
>Edit View 
..
You can define a layout by selecting a default layout from the Layout list and modifying it. You can then save and use the modified layout. For a list
of the default layouts that come shipped with the software, see Shipped Default Layouts.
-
Select Advanced.
-
On the Layout tab of the Advanced Table Properties dialog, specify a name for the layout.
Select Default if you want this layout to be the default table layout for the item type, which you
specified on the Edit View dialog. Because there can only be one default layout per item type, whichever layout
you last selected as the default becomes the current default layout.
-
Select Save if you want to save the layout in order to apply it to another EDE, select Delete if you want to delete the layout.
To further define a layout, populate the Definition group box with display and sort properties.
-
Select Add to add a line entry to the Display Property list in the Contents box.
-
Specify the Property and Caption in the Edit group at the bottom of the dialog.
To add and define more display properties, repeat steps 1 and 2.
To change the display order of the columns in the EDE view, select a row in the Display Property column under Contents and select Up or Down.
-
In the Sorting box, select in the Sort Property list and select Add to add an entry. Then select the property, order, and type in the Edit group at the bottom of the dialog.
To add and define more sort properties, repeat step 3.
To change the sort order of the properties in the EDE, select a row in the Sort Property box and select Up or Down.
The Add, Insert, Delete, Move Up, and Move Down buttons apply to the active list view, which can be either Display Property or Sort Property.
