Purchase order list settings control how your purchase orders table is presented to you — which columns appear, how dense the rows are, how many orders load per page, the order they sort in, and which orders you see first. Out of the box these settings match the list exactly as it looks today, so nothing changes until you adjust a control. You can reach the settings two ways, and they always show the same values:

• The settings panel— open it with the gear button in the toolbar above the purchase orders list. It slides in from the right so you can change a control and see the list update behind it right away. The same gear is on each purchase order's own page, and it opens the very same panel.
• The settings page — go to Settings > Purchase order list for the same controls laid out on a full page, useful when you want to review everything at once.

Toggle individual columns on or off to build the view you want. Standard columns such as the PO number, vendor, receive-into location, status, expected date, and total can each be shown or hidden. Hidden columns are remembered so the table looks the same the next time you open it. Everything is shown by default, so until you hide something the list carries the same columns it does today.

Choose between Comfortable and Compact. Comfortable gives each row a little more breathing room and is easier to scan; compact fits more purchase orders on screen at once, which is handy when you are working through a long list of orders. Pick whichever suits how you read the table.

Set how many purchase orders appear before you need to page forward. A smaller page size loads faster and keeps scrolling short; a larger page size lets you see more orders without paging. The pagination controls at the bottom of the list always reflect the page size you choose here.

Choose the field the list is sorted by when it first loads, and whether it sorts ascending or descending. You can sort by created date, PO number, status, total, expected date, or last updated. New purchase orders are shown first by default (created date, newest first). The default sort simply decides the order the list opens in each time — it does not change which orders you can see.

Set a starting status filter that is applied every time you open the purchase orders list — for instance, opening straight to draft orders, orders you have sent to vendors, or orders that are still partially received. The available statuses are draft, sent, partially received, received, and cancelled. Leave it on all statuses to see every order. You can always clear or change the filter on the list itself with the status buttons above the table; the default just decides what you see first.

There is no save button. Every change you make autosaves the moment you make it, and a brief saved indicator confirms it. Because the panel and the settings page read and write the same preferences, a change in one shows up in the other immediately — and because they are stored on your account rather than in the browser, they follow you to any device you sign in on.
