Interactive column headers allow you to arrange the data into a way that's most useful to you. Depending on the features available for each column, you can add new columns of data, rearrange and reorder them, and filter some columns. To access these features, click on the column menu in the column you want to change.
The top menu can contain three different options—one for resizing the column, one for filtering the data displayed in the column, and one for controlling which columns are displayed. Each menu contains various ways for manipulating what's shown on the page.
