The procedure for adding both types of columns is the same. When you add a column, it is inserted immediately after the last column of its type. You can move columns after you create them. To add a column:
1. Select the row in which you want to add a column.
2. Click
Add Attribute Column (
) or
Add Element Column (

XML > Grid Editing menu and from the grid shortcut menu.
The column is added to the table.
3. If you want, move the column to a new location in the row. See
Reordering Columns.
Deleting ColumnsTo delete a column:
1. Select a cell in the column you want to delete.
A yellow border appears around the cell you select.
2. Click
Delete Column (
). This action is also available from the
XML > Grid Editing menu and from the grid shortcut menu.
The column is deleted from the table. Reordering ColumnsYou can reorder columns in the grid by dragging them to the position you desire. To reorder a column:
1. Place the pointer on the left handle in the column header.
2. Press and hold mouse button one.

3. Drag the column to the location in the row you want.
4. Release the mouse button.
The column is placed in the new location within the row. Renaming ColumnsYou can rename columns in the grid. This has the effect of renaming the corresponding attribute or element name in the underlying XML document.
