Declutter Your Sheet View with Personal Settings

Working in a Sheet View that's packed with columns you don't actually use? You're not alone. The good news is you have full control over what shows up on your screen. With a few quick adjustments, you can shape the Sheet View around the work you actually do every day.

Start with the settings icon

Every personalization option lives behind the settings icon in the Sheet View. Click it, and you'll unlock a menu that lets you fine-tune how your workspace looks and feels. The changes you make here are yours alone, so you don't need to worry about affecting your teammates.

If your admin has already set up any preconfigured views, you'll see them listed here and can pick one that fits your workflow. To adapt a view to your own way of working, or to start from scratch, click "Modify Settings" to open the full range of options below.

Hide the fields you don't need

The fastest way to reduce visual noise is to hide fields that aren't relevant to your workflow. Open the Sheet View settings menu and simply uncheck any field you'd rather not see. Required fields stay visible (shown in grey) to protect essential information, but everything else is fair game.

You can also tailor which fields appear for each Media Type, so your Paid Social view doesn't have to look like your TV view. A handy summary next to the Create Order and Export Data buttons keeps track of how many fields you've hidden, so nothing ever gets lost on you.

Make dates easier to read

If you plan across long stretches of time, add Month, Date, or Day of the Week indicators to your Start and End Date fields. It's a small change that makes scanning your timeline much faster.

Turn on Duration

Activate the Duration option to see exactly how many days each planned row spans. It calculates automatically from your start and end dates, so you get that information without having to do mental math. Enable "Include End Dates" if you want the final day of the period counted in.

Freeze the columns you rely on

Use the Fixed Left Columns option to pin up to the first ten columns in place. Now when you scroll horizontally to reach deeper data, the context you care about stays anchored in view.

The takeaway

Your Sheet View should feel like a tool built for you. Spend five minutes in the settings menu today, hide what you don't need, surface what you do, and watch how much faster your planning flows.
