Overview
On all OOONA manager pages, the grid layout is customizable, allowing you to show, hide, re-position or change the width of the columns according to your preferences.
Once you navigate away from the page, the changes will be discarded and the grid layout will revert back to the system default grid layout.
If you want the changes to be saved, you must save them as a customized grid layout.
That way, whenever you navigate to the page, the grid will be displayed according to your preferences.
