# Configure columns available for personalization

# Configure columns available for personalization in CWM {#ariaid-title1}

Release version: Australia  
Updated June 18, 2026  
![](https://www.servicenow.com/docs/portal-asset/ico-clock) 1 minute to read  
Configure which columns are available in the column personalization panel in CWM by updating the default list layout for the
relevant table.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

CWM displays columns from the default list
view of a table as available options in the column personalization panel. For
stories, CWM uses the CWM view of the list
instead of the default view.

## Procedure

1. Navigate to the list view of the table you want to configure.  
   For example, navigate to `incident.list` for the Incident
   table, `sn_cwm_task.list` for CWM tasks, or
   `rm_story.list` for stories.
2. Right-click any row in the list to open the row context menu, and select ViewDefault view.  
   For stories (`rm_story`), select ViewCWM view instead.

   This step ensures you're configuring the list layout that CWM references for column personalization.
3. Select the header of any column, and from the column menu select ConfigureList Layout.
4. Add or remove the columns you want to make available for personalization, and save your changes.

## Result

Users can now select the updated columns when personalizing the display of CWM Boards.
