How to display (enable/disable) grid cells that contain transaction data types

In the merchant panel, on the left side (depends on what theme is currently in use for your account) you can find a lot of different sections where you can get right into the important reports and overviews. Each report has its own view settings (records per page, displayed and non-displayed transaction data types) which you can change.

The example below shows how to change a view the way of checking or unchecking checkboxes right next to the data type names.

Go to the following sections: Transactions -> Commissions -> hit Edit View button (pencil) in the right upper corner of the window. The location of that pencil is the same for every section. 


Then the 'Edit view' window appears. For one report you can create more views which you can save under a custom name.

Then you can choose from the created views easily based on your current need.

EXAMPLE5-6 fields have the status "Disabled" which means those fields won't be visible and used at all. There are 8 available field statuses that you can use based on your requirements. 

The result is as follow:
