Can I customize the items displayed in the content list?
Yes, you can. There are three ways to set this up depending on your requirements.
Setting from the Gear Icon
Click on the gear symbol in the top right-hand corner of the contents list to open the display field settings dialog. You can set the fields to be displayed in the contents list.

The default items cannot be hidden. Also, these settings are retained for each user.
To set the initial display items applied to users who have not configured the gear icon settings, see Setting in the Content Structure.
If you want to change the default items, change the item names, or change the display for all users regardless of their individual settings, please use the trigger for [Content Display (Admin Panel)].
Setting in the Content Structure
In the content structure editor, you can use [Default display fields] under [Advanced settings] to set the initial display items and their order in the content list, which are applied to users who have not configured the gear icon settings.
- Click [Content structure], then click the [Title] of the target content structure.
- In [Default display fields] under [Advanced settings], select the item you want to display from the [Add item] drop-down. You can reorder items by drag and drop, and remove unnecessary items with [×].
However, the default items cannot be removed (no [×] is shown for them). - Click [Update].

- If a user has individually configured the display items from the gear icon, that user's settings take priority.
- Once a user has configured the display items from the gear icon, later changes to [Default display fields] are not reflected in that user's content list.
- To change the display items for all users regardless of their individual settings, see Setting with Triggers.
For details on each field, see Content structure editor.
Setting with Triggers
Using the trigger for Visibility of content in Admin panel, you can set the items displayed in the list by configuring the $disable_columns and $default_columns variables.
disable_columns
This setting specifies the items to be removed. Specify the items you want to hide in an array as shown below.
Example of setting disable_columns
{* Use disable_columns*}
{assign_array var="disable_columns" values="ymd,update_ymdhi"}
Display Example

default_columns
This method specifies the items to be displayed from scratch. Specify the key names, display names, and whether sorting is enabled for the items you want to display as shown below.
Example of setting default_columns
{*Use default_columns*}
{assign_array var="default_columns" values=""}
{assign_array var="topics_id" values=""}
{assign var="topics_id.key_name" value="topics_id"}
{assign var="topics_id.disp_name" value="TOPICS ID"}
{assign var="topics_id.sortable" value=false}
{assign_array var="subject" values=""}
{assign var="subject.key_name" value="subject"}
{assign var="subject.disp_name" value="SUBJECT"}
{assign var="subject.sortable" value=false}
{assign_array var="slug" values=""}
{assign var="slug.key_name" value="slug"}
{assign var="slug.disp_name" value="URL"}
{assign var="slug.sortable" value=false}
{append var="default_columns" value=$topics_id}
{append var="default_columns" value=$subject}
{append var="default_columns" value=$slug}
Display Example

By hiding the gear icon with the CSS of the admin panel plugin, you can ensure the same list display for each user and prevent changes on the user side.
filters
To change the default sort order of the content list, specify the sort order using the order key of $filters.
The sort order specified here will be applied as the default when the user has not manually sorted the list.
Example of setting filters (to display by order_no in ascending order)
{assign_array var="filters" values=""}
{assign var="filters.order" value="order_no=ASC"}
For details on how to specify the order value (such as column names and ASC/DESC), please refer to Parameters for filter search.
