In the "Watchlist settings" dialogue window, you can first select the area on the left side for which you want to configure your settings:
"General" area
In the "General" area, you can make the following settings:

"Default columns" area
In the "Default columns" area, select the table columns you want to display in the overview table in the watchlist. Hide the less important columns.
See also Show and hide columns of the widgets via the settings.
You can add columns from the "All Fields" widget by drag & drop and also delete them from the watchlist. Columns added from the "All fields" widget are indicated by the "Delete" icon next to the column name:
Example:
Click the "Delete" icon to mark the columns for deletion. To confirm the deletion, click the "Save changes" buttons. This deletes the added columns from the watchlist.
"Free text columns" area
In this area, you can configure individual columns for the overview table of the watchlist.
To do this, follow these steps:
- On the left side of the "Watchlist settings" dialogue window, select the "Free text columns" area.
- Click the "Add column" button.
- In the "Name" input field, enter a name for the column header of the first custom column.
- Then click the "Settings" button for this column.
- Configure the new column. The table below contains descriptions of the individual setting options.
- Then click the "Save" button. (Use the "Back" button to close the settings of the free text column without saving any changes you may have made.)
- If you want to add more columns, click the "Add column" button in the "Free text columns" area and proceed in the same way.
You can delete your custom columns by using the corresponding "Delete" button.
