Selecting Columns by Object Type
You can choose the columns displayed for each related object type except for File objects. When you add a column, it is displayed to the left of the Linked By, Confidence, and Comments columns. For Maintenance and Admin users, ThreatQ retains column selections by login and applies the selections to all objects of the same object type. For example, if you select the Last Modified column for Adversary1, you will see the same column displayed for all adversaries. Read Only and Primary Contributor users can select columns for display. However, their selections are not saved.
For each related object type, ThreatQ specifies default and required columns. You can remove default columns from your view but you cannot remove required columns.
