The Nimbus CDM Microsoft Add-ins can be configured to show only the columns you wish to display in the Document List.

By default, when the document list is opened by the Add-in, it will display a list of standard columns. An example is shown below displaying:

  • Client Code

  • Name

  • Revision etc

Whilst it is possible to move the columns around in order, it is also possible to set the columns to display in which order, AND to set the columns that are displayed.

Note: before attempting to edit the FileColumnProperties.config file, please contact support if you need assistance.

How to edit the columns displayed:

  1. Using Windows explorer navigate to the following location:

    1. C:\Users\UserName\AppData\Local\Nimbus\Cloud Document Management - CDM\Settings

    6. Remember to save the file.
