Webster University: Add Columns

Add Columns

By default, Connections provides great flexibility for you to customize the tabs that you have in your layout. On a tab, you have the ability to add additional columns or move and delete columns . To add a new column to a tab, use the following procedure:

1.	In the top left-hand corner of the page above the Connections tabs, locate and click the Content/Layout link.
2.	You see the Manage Content/Layout page, which allows you to change aspects of your user layout, such as adding tabs, moving or deleting channels, etc.
3.	Locate the image of the Connections layout and select the tab to which you want to add a new column by clicking its name.
4.	You see an image containing icons for the existing channels and columns contained on the tab.
5.	Locate the position where you want to add the new column and click the Add Column button.
6.	You see a page with options that allow you to set the relative sizes of each column that the tab will contain.
7.	Using the width fields, enter percentage values for each column. Note that the combined total of all fields should equal 100%.
8.	To set the column widths, click Save Widths. You see the new column displayed in the layout image.
9.	Click the return button, which is located in the upper left-hand side of the screen.
10.	You are returned to the tab where you elected to add the column. At this point you may add channels to the column.
