Designing views
Creating columns in a view
Columns display one type of information about the documents listed -- such as the document subject, author, or creation date. One column in a view is usually the organizing element -- for example, in a chronological view, the organizing column displays document creation dates.
Using a column to switch to another view
To give users an easy way to see additional, related information that doesn't fit in the initial view, use a column as an entry point to another view. Users click such a column to open another view. To set this option, choose "Click on column header to sort" on the Sorting tab of the Column Properties box and choose "Change to view" as the sorting option. Use the column title to alert users to this special kind of column. For example, you can title the column "Click here to switch to the By Author view."
