Hello all,
So I've been looking for a way to customize the columns that show up when you click on the "Where Used" tab (and the "Contains" tab). We have some metadata that would be useful to see, yet I can't find a way to display it in columns for those two features.
Any hints/solutions/suggestions would be appreciated! Thanks!

Charley,
I don't think there's any way to customize these columns. You can submit an enhancement request to add this functionality.

Sounds like a plan, where can I do that exactly? (I'm kinda new to this whole thing)
If you go to your opening page on this portal under "My Support" you will
a section there to submit ER's.
Apparently this has been an issue for a while.
Thanks scott!
It's a great idea, and I would also add the capability to create multiple file list column sets and assign each one to a specific file extension(or group of file extensions) or at least to assign them by folder, like data cards.
Just found out from our VAR that this is not possible:
This is a current limitation.
A PDMWorks® Enterprise file vault can be configured to use three types of customizable column listings for listing file data:
• File List – Creates additional data card variable value columns to the file listing in Explorer.
• Search Result – Creates search result column listings in the search tool.
• Bill of Material – Creates BOM or Drawing lists for CAD files that have references.
(As per the Administration Guide, "Column" article).
I found this issue listed under SPR 384096. I voted for it. You should too.

I find it really odd that there are no options for this. If you really look into data handling on this system the filename is really unimportant aspect of anything.
I made ER and also told our VAR to add us to the mentioned SPR
Has this issue been resolved in newer versions of EPDM? We're still on 2012.
in 2014, users can cusomize thier columns for where used and contains tabs by right clicking and adding/removing columns (similar to windows explorer).
Fixed in 2014, right clicking in the windows gives you options to add/remove colums. "More" takes you to a menu where you can choose any variable.
There is a slight bug where the columns reset when switching folders sometimes, but hitting F5 refreshes and corrects the view.
