Addition additional columns of data not currently in view as well as organizing the order of the columns makes ZIMS a more personalized tool.  Your view of search results are unique to you when you log into ZIMS – so, when speaking with colleagues, remember that they might not have the same column customization format that you have selected.

 

ZIMS for Husbandry

Column customization is available in the Animals, Enclosures/Life Support/Collection Trip, Institution and Taxonomy modules searches. To customize columns in any of the search results, select the arrow to the right of any column header (1), navigate down to columns (2), and a dropdown list will appear of column options (3).  Check the boxes for what data you want to appear (4), and uncheck the ones you want hidden (5).  

The simple and advanced animal searches can be customized separately.

 

Customization is unique per user, and ZIMS will remember any customization so your results will always show the columns you have set.
