/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/manage-analytical-reports/design-analytical-reports/view-and-edit-column-sets/define-the-columns-to-be-included-in-the-column-set section To define the columns included in the column set, you can perform the following operations with the columns: 2026-02-19T17:09:06+01:00 # Define the columns to be included in the column set To define the columns included in the column set, you can perform the following operations with the columns: + Add new columns to the column sets + Set the attributes for each column in the column set + Delete the columns from the column set To perform the operations with the columns in the column set, use the [Column sets (CS206020)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/column-sets-cs206020/) window. The **Columns** table in this window displays the existing columns and their attributes. ## Create a new column To create a new column in the column set, perform the following steps: 1. Click ****. 1. Specify the new column attributes in the relevant columns of the **Columns** table. 1. Click ****. ## Add a header to the column To add a text description for a single column or a column range in the printed report, define a header for a column or a columns range. The **Headers** section of the [Column sets (CS206020)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/column-sets-cs206020/) window allows you to add the headers to the reports and define in which rows the headers should be printed. The **Headers** section of the [Column sets (CS206020)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/column-sets-cs206020/) window provides the tools to define the headers for a single column or a column range, and insert the headers in the rows specified by the **Printing group** attribute in the **Headers** table. The header for a column or a columns range should be defined after the columns are added to the column set. Every header can be assigned its printing style. You can add, delete, and change the order of the headers in the **Headers** table, and copy the printing style defined for a certain header to apply it to another header in the analytical report. To add a header for a single column or a columns range, perform the following steps: 1. Click ****. 1. If the header should be printed in a specific row, in the **Printing group** column of the **Headers** table enter the printing group code (the same code should be entered in the **Column group** column for the relevant row). 1. Enter the header text in the column where the header should appear. 1. Use the lookup control in the column to set the columns range for the header printing and define the printing style. By default, the columns range is limited by a single column where the header text is entered. To set the columns range, enter the codes of the start column and the end column in the range. ## View and edit the column attributes The attributes of each column are displayed as the values in the **Columns** table in the [Column sets (CS206020)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/column-sets-cs206020/) window. You can edit these attributes for the selected column by changing the values in the relevant rows of the **Columns** table. To change a specific column attribute, select this attribute and change its value. After all necessary changes to the column attributes are performed, save the changes by clicking **Save** in the **Column sets** control panel. Unsaved changes will be cancelled after navigation to another page. By changing the column attributes, you can define the data selection, processing and formatting rules for the data to be included in this column. For every new column added to the column set for the specific report, specify the column attributes. ## Delete a column To delete an existing column from the column set, perform the following steps: 1. Select the column you want to delete. 1. Click ****. 1. Click ****. ## Use the column set in the analytical reports Once you define a column set, you can use this column set in any analytical report you configure using the [Report definitions (CS206000)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/report-definitions-cs206000/) window. ### Parent topic [View and edit the column sets - overview](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/manage-analytical-reports/design-analytical-reports/view-and-edit-column-sets/view-and-edit-the-column-sets-overview/) ### Related concepts [About the analytical report manager](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/manage-analytical-reports/about-the-analytical-report-manager/) [About column attributes](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/manage-analytical-reports/column-sets/column-attributes/) [About printing styles](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/manage-analytical-reports/printing-styles/)
