Under the Layout section of the ribbon, it is possible to edit the column attributes such labels, font sizes, text masks, etc. as well as select the look-up columns and detail columns that are displayed.
This functions much like the Column attributes found in the Visitor View. You can read more about it in our Visitor Configuration Layouts Page
You can also configure drop-down values to be used for columns where data entry is always from a selection of values.
