These parameters can be used in multiple reports that use similar data selection rules and a similar report layout structure. To specify the set of columns for a group of analytical reports or a single report, you can create new column sets or modify existing ones. To remove the set of columns associated with the reports that are no longer used, you can delete the column sets associated with them. To perform these operations with the column sets, use the [Column sets (CS206020)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/column-sets-cs206020/) window of the [About the analytical report manager](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/manage-analytical-reports/about-the-analytical-report-manager/). ## Create a new column set 1. Click **** in the **Column set** control panel. 1. Enter the code of the column set in the **Code** field. 1. Enter the column set description in the **Description** field. The column description is not displayed in the printed report and is used only to add a descriptive comment to the column set. 1. Click **** to save the created column set. The columns and data filters can be added to the created column set later. The column set code must be unique within the whole system. The length of the unique column set code is limited by the range of 1 to 10 symbols. The allowed symbols are only digits and letters. ## Modify the existing column set 1. Select the existing column set code in the **Code** field in the Column set area of the [Column sets (CS206020)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/column-sets-cs206020/) window, or use navigation buttons in the control panel to find the required row set. 1. Change the column set attributes as required. 1. Click **** in the **Column set** control panel to save the changes. ## Delete a column set 1. Display the column set to be deleted in the [Column sets (CS206020)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/column-sets-cs206020/) window. 1. Click **** in the [Column sets (CS206020)](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/column-sets-cs206020/) window control panel. ### 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/) [Column sets - overview](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/manage-analytical-reports/column-sets/column-sets-overview/) Related reference [Report definitions](/visma-net-erp/help/general-ledger/general-ledger-windows/report-definitions-cs206000/)
