Search Options and Displaying Columns
There is great flexibility and choice in what data is displayed in search screen. Please do not put up with partial displayed columns, it is easy to correct. Often users do not realise they can change what is display, the sort order, column width, and the multiple columns available for display.
Each login (user) can choose, without effecting other users, what columns and the size of the search window are saved. When the user closes the window panel, the last used options for the search screen, the columns, sort order and width are saved, so when you open the screen again, the screen is displayed as it was when the window was closed.
If your display does not look right, you can reset and search screen by pressing the ctrl key and F12 then exiting the screen and re-opening the screen.
