Customize Tables

OT Security pages display data in a table format with a list for each item. These tables have standardized customization features, enabling you to access the relevant information.

Important: In version 4.0, OT Security introduces several UI changes, but not all pages in the application are updated. In this version, only the pages under Inventory and Vulnerability Findings use the improved method to customize, filter, sort, and search. These steps are documented in sections with headings marked specifically for 4.0. For example: Customize the Column Display in OT Security 4.0.
Note: The examples given here are for the All Events and All Assets pages, but similar functionality is available for most of the pages. You can revert to the default display settings at any time by clicking Settings > Reset table to default. For OT Security 4.0 and later, click Displayed Columns > Reset to Default.
