Version 12.x and Later

By freezing columns in a widget, you can keep important columns on the left side of the widget no matter how far you scroll to the right, without changing your schema. Frozen columns will remain frozen (on the left side) until they are unfrozen.

To manage frozen columns, a user must either be the creator of the widget or, for widget on shared dashboards, have "write" permission for the widget.

Manage Frozen Columns

1. Click the Manage Frozen Columns button at the top right of the widget.
   
2. Choose which columns you want to freeze or unfreeze.
   • To freeze a column, click the Freeze Pane icon next to its column header. The column moves to the left, and its icon becomes a green Unfreeze pane icon .

• To unfreeze a column, click the green Unfreeze Pane icon next to its column header. The column will return to its assigned position in the schema, and the icon will change to a white Freeze Pane icon  

  

Clear All Frozen Columns

To clear all frozen columns, click the Clear All Frozen Columns button. The frozen columns return to their assigned based on the schema. All icons revert to white Freeze pane icons.

Turn off Frozen Column Management

To turn off all frozen icons for individual columns, click the Stop Managing Frozen Columns button at the top right of the widget.
