# Columns Adding and Removing (Customizing)

## What

The Edit Fields tool lets you show or hide inventory columns beyond the default fields in FileWave Anywhere views.

## When/Why

Use it when a value such as asset tag, location, owner, or a custom inventory field needs to be visible in the table. Once the column is shown, you can search or filter by that value.

<p class="callout info">**FileWave 16.4 Deployment view:** Central and Anywhere share the predefined **Installation Type**, **License Assignment**, **Creation Date**, and **Tags** columns. Show the columns relevant to the review, then sort or filter the list. See [Deployments in FileWave Central](https://kb.filewave.com/books/filesets-payloads/page/deployments-in-filewave-central) for the meaning of each Deployment column.</p>

## How

You can Edit the fields in a view wherever you see the (![fGOjKqg0WxMFYRdc-embedded-image-y0renezi.png](https://kb.filewave.com/uploads/images/gallery/2023-07/fGOjKqg0WxMFYRdc-embedded-image-y0renezi.png)) icon on the right of the table (it is shown here horizontally, but is vertical in the web admin).

In this example, the custom field *Asset Tag* is added to the Devices view. If a user reports an issue and gives the asset tag, the admin can filter the device list by that value instead of searching by name or serial number.

To remove a field from the view, clear its checkbox and save the view.
