Columns

The columns you can add to the search table depend on which Capable capabilities you have installed. Search itself supplies the everyday ones, such as Title, Created by and Labels. Everything else comes from another capability that adds its details to the search index.

Columns picker open under the Columns button, with core columns ticked and groups for Approval, Calendar, Links, Analytics and Metrics
The picker lists every column under the capability that supplies it, so a group only appears once that capability is installed.

That is why the table gets richer as you install more, and why the standalone app has the fewest.

Search results table with Title, Last updated, Approval Status, Words, Macros and Attachments columns and green Approved badges
Approval Status comes from the Approval capability and sits right alongside core columns like Title and Last updated.

#A few things worth knowing

  • If a capability isn't installed, its columns don't appear in the picker.

  • Sorting on a Capable field only orders pages that have been indexed.

  • Column choices travel with a saved search, including into the macros.



The table grows with what you install.
