            <H4>Custom columns</H4>
            <H5>Variant vs. patient columns</H5>

            Custom columns are either of the variant or the patient type. Variant columns can be added to genes, while patient columns can only be added to the system-wide patient table. Therefore, managing variant columns is done via the <A href="<?php echo DOCS_PATH; ?>lovd_gene_configuration_area.php">configuration area</A>, while patient columns and the general custom column actions can be reached through the <A href="<?php echo DOCS_PATH; ?>lovd_setup.php">setup area</A>.<BR>
            <BR>

            However, some column settings are global. For instance, the way a column is represented on the submission forms and the type of data going in to the field, is a system-wide setting and can therefore only be edited by a manager through the <A href="<?php echo DOCS_PATH; ?>lovd_setup/custom_columns/editing_custom_column_default_settings.php">custom column default settings</A>.<BR>
            Therefore, if you seek to edit a column characteristic that you can't seem to be able to edit on the display settings form, make sure you check out the column's default settings also.<BR>
