I believe one of the idea of Edit columns is to have the ability to declutter and power to choose our screen views. While i do like the edit column feature and the idea to declutter, these 2 columns just provide the same concept of information - due date as starting point whether negative or positive.
I do not think it is about decluttering but about showing in the tab screens the information useful to a particular business.
@Lubos hinted that he is also working on the âviewâ screens which is the information that shows up when looking at for example a receipt or invoice. However, that in my view should come with the possibility to add CSS components so one can have view screens conforming corporate styles.
@lubos thanks for your reply. letâs see update.
@Frankie yes, I also donât understand why new columns couldnât exist along with âoldâ status column. With âoldâ status column everything was just perfect.
can ANYBODY name the reason why he wants 'ânewâ'style status column (considering they have two new columns for due/overdue) ???
@Lubos, the developer already answered this, which you even acknowledged. So not sure who else can answer this.
Hi,
Personally, I would prefer the older system. I think it was much better.
To me, it seemed more clearer and kept the application looking neat.
Hello,
Is it possible to return the status column to the way it used to be? In the version, It used to be very helpful and kept the application clean but still having enough information. If feel the new feature is making the application look cluttered.
I would like to add my voice to everyone else complaining about the new statuses. I think the edit columns feature is a great idea. I will certainly be removing columns of information I never use! But like many others I fail to understand the logic of creating three columns for information that used to exist in one column.
The original status column concept was really good. Colour Coding and showed relevant information such as number of days due date as well as number of days overdue! It was a very good design as it showed a lot of information in a very small space. It was much clearer.
The new columns Days Overdue and Days to Due Date can show the information, but it looks very untidy compared to the original design and secondly just wastes precious retail space. It is also less clear visually speaking.
Can the Columns Days Overdue and Days to Due Date be removed and the information restored back to the Status Column where it actually belongs! The new design is a massive downgrade! There may possibly be one or two people who wanted to hid the Days Overdue and Days to Due Date, but the majority of Manager Users like the old format. Please restore as the new feature is a really massive downgrade and visually speaking it looks terrible.

Actually nobody has asked for the ânew column layoutâ. What Iâm looking is where Manager is heading and the old status that captured so much information in so little space was incompatible with upcoming reporting capabilities. You can already see why when you use Advanced Search function. Every column in Manager was of some primitive data type (text, number, boolean, date or enum) but the old status column was amalgamation of both number and enum.
I see this situation as taking one step backwards so we can make two steps forward. Maybe those two steps forward are not obvious now but they will be soonâŚ
Why does it have to be one or the other? Is it not possible to have the functionality of the old system and the benefits of the new system? Speaking for myself, when I upgrade the live system to the latest version, I wonât be using the extra columns as I find it untidy. So I will essentially be losing functionality that I currently have. There must be a way to have our cake and eat it!
