Customizing Columns

There are several ways to rearrange the columns displayed in your Realized Gain/Loss tab:

TIP: If the column you choose is not currently displayed in the Realized Gain/Loss tab, it will completely displace the column that was there. If it is already in the display, the two columns will swap places.

Applying Settings to One or All Tabs

You can choose to apply the settings changes you make to either just the current Realized Gain/Loss tab or to all current and future Realized Gain/Loss tabs. The default is to apply the settings only to the current tab, but if you prefer the settings to apply to all, select Apply to all Realized Gain/Loss tabs at the bottom of the Columns and Settings window before clicking OK.
