Overview:
Labsheets can contain many columns. As you add more data, important fields can move out of view when you scroll. This makes it harder to follow what you’re looking at. Sticky Columns solve this by keeping key columns visible while you scroll. In this article, we’ll show how to freeze two columns in a Labsheet.
How it works:
Sticky Columns are controlled from the Labsheet settings.
Before you turn on a second sticky column, decide which field you want to keep visible next to the ID. For example, in a Sample Manager Labsheet, the first column is Sample ID. You can then choose a key field like Status or Batch as the second column to keep it visible at all times.
Then reorder your columns. Drag the column you want to freeze so it sits second, right beside the ID column. This matters because the second sticky column is always the column in position two.
Next, go to the top-right corner of the Labsheet and click Labsheet settings.
Open Manage Columns.
Inside Manage Columns, you’ll see the Sticky Columns option.
Click it to view two choices:
1 sticky column and
2 sticky columns. - Select 2 sticky columns, then click Save Changes.
8. Once saved, your Labsheet will keep the ID and the second column frozen in place. You can now scroll horizontally without losing key context.
