FortiOS 5.0 Tips & Tricks - Part 1 - Column Settings

When editing a policy in FortiOS 4.x there was a "Column Settings" button which allowed you to add or remove columns from the current view. This feature does exist in FortiOS 5 but there is no longer a button for it. Instead, right click on one of the existing column headings such as Source or Destination. From there you can select the "Column Settings" as you did before.
