Setting whether fields are visible in a table

It is always helpful to tailor the way your data is displayed and organized to best suit the needs of your current analysis. One way to simplify working with a table or layer is to only display the fields that are relevant for your current task.

Steps:

1. Open the table.
2. Right-click the field heading and click Turn Field Off.

   Another quick way of turning off a field from the Table window is to hold down the CTRL key and double-click the field heading. To turn all the fields on again, choose the Turn All Fields On command from the Table Options menu.

Note:

You can open the Layer Properties or Table Properties dialog box and use the Fields tab to set field visibility.

Tip:

To toggle visibility for all fields from the Fields tab, hold down the CTRL key when you click the check box next to any field, or press CTRL+SPACEBAR if a field is currently selected (highlighted) in the list.
