Column Management
The tracks grid displays your songs in a table with columns for everything from song names to excitement levels. Column management lets you shape this grid to match the way you work — widen the tags column for better readability, hide columns you never use, or drag columns into a new order. Your preferences are saved automatically, so your perfect layout is ready whenever you open the app.
Accessing Column Options
Section titled “Accessing Column Options”Right-click any column header in the tracks grid to open the column context menu. This menu gives you complete control over which columns appear and how they’re arranged.
From the menu you can:
- Toggle visibility for any column
- Auto-fit a column to its contents
- Reset column order to the default
- Reset all columns including widths
Click anywhere outside the menu to close it.
Resizing Columns
Section titled “Resizing Columns”Each column has a resize handle on its right edge — you’ll see it appear when you hover over a header. The handle appears as a subtle vertical line that highlights in blue when you mouse over it.
How to Resize
Section titled “How to Resize”- Hover over the column header border until the resize cursor appears
- Click and drag left or right to adjust the width
- Release to set the new width
The column resizes smoothly as you drag. Widths are constrained by minimum and maximum limits so nothing gets too cramped or too stretched.
Showing and Hiding Columns
Section titled “Showing and Hiding Columns”Not every column needs to be visible all the time. The context menu lists every column with a checkbox next to it. Uncheck a column to hide it from the grid.
Which Columns Can Be Hidden?
Section titled “Which Columns Can Be Hidden?”Most columns are hideable, including:
- Song Name — the track title and artist
- Stage & Workflows — current production stage and workflow state
- Bucket — the project or playlist assignment
- Tags — your custom tags for organization
- Excitement — your personal energy rating for each track
- Date Added — when the track was imported
- Collaborators — who’s working on the track
- Actions — quick action buttons
The Actions column cannot be hidden since it always needs to be accessible.
Remembering Your Choices
Section titled “Remembering Your Choices”Your visibility settings are saved automatically. If you hide the Date Added column today, it will still be hidden tomorrow when you open the app.
Reordering Columns
Section titled “Reordering Columns”You can drag column headers to rearrange their order in the grid. This is useful if you want to see important information first or group related columns together.
How to Reorder
Section titled “How to Reorder”- Click and hold on a column header
- Drag it horizontally to a new position
- Release to drop it in place
Other columns shift to make room as you drag. The new order is saved automatically.
Resetting Column Order
Section titled “Resetting Column Order”If you’ve moved things around and want to return to the original layout, open the context menu and choose Reset Column Order. This restores the default arrangement without changing your column widths.
Resetting Everything
Section titled “Resetting Everything”Sometimes you just want a fresh start. The context menu offers two reset options:
- Reset Column Order — returns columns to their default positions but keeps your current widths
- Reset All Columns — returns columns to their default positions AND resets all widths to the original settings
Use Reset All Columns when you want to completely restore the factory layout.
Column Width Persistence
Section titled “Column Width Persistence”Every width change you make is stored in your browser’s local storage. This means:
- Resized columns stay resized across sessions
- Hidden columns stay hidden
- Column order is preserved
If you clear your browser data, column preferences will reset to defaults. You can always use the reset options to recreate your preferred layout.
Understanding Column Types
Section titled “Understanding Column Types”Different columns behave differently depending on their content:
| Column | Content | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Song Name | Track title | Always visible and resizable |
| Stage & Workflows | Production stage + workflow state | Shows coloured pills |
| Bucket | Project or playlist assignment | Drop target for drag-and-drop |
| Tags | Custom keyword labels | Collapses when many tags exist |
| Excitement | 0–100 energy rating | Displayed as a progress bar |
| Date Added | Import date | Formatted as relative time |
| Collaborators | Avatar circles | Shows up to 5, then “+N” |
Working with Tags and Workflow Columns
Section titled “Working with Tags and Workflow Columns”The Tags and Stage & Workflows columns have special click behaviour. Clicking anywhere in these cells opens the editor dropdown instead of selecting the track. This makes it faster to assign tags or change stages without accidentally selecting the wrong row.
Empty cells in these columns show a dash placeholder and fill the entire cell height, giving you a generous click target.
