Edit Columns in a Super Search

Customize super search results by editing the columns of data.

After running a super search, the results can be customized by editing the columns of data. For example, additional columns can be added, multiple fields can be combined into one column, and column labels can be edited.

Edits to the columns are reflected if the super search results are exported. 

Default list views can be configured at the site level in Admin Tools & Settings. This allows default columns to be configured for different types of super searches.

Edits to super search columns return to the default list view when the super search is run again. Editing the default list views therefore increase efficiency.
