How is sys_ui_element used to display columns?

[juan9]

I am trying to understand position and type are used to display columns in a form but i dont get it.

looking at view major_incidents, why is there a element called major_incident?

there is no column called major_incident in form. I even checked the form designer and i didnt see anything (see pic below)

another view with a weird element is Metrics,

where is the column sys_mod_count coming from?

for you last question see: https://<instance>.service-now.com/sys_dictionary_list.do?sysparm_query=elementLIKEsys_mod_count&sysparm_view=advanced

I have no idea on your first observation of the 'major incidents' view. Adjust that as you like.
