Ensure that the most important information in a table is always displayed
by specifying which columns have priority.
Depending on the width and number
of columns, screen resolution, and configuration, you might choose to hide some columns to
save space. You can prioritize the columns in a table to ensure that the most important
columns are always visible to users.
Columns that you mark as Primary, act as the unique
identifier for each row and contain crucial information, such as product name or ID.
Secondary columns store data that is not unique but is required to complete a task, for
example, the price of a product. Columns with Other importance contain contextual
information that does not affect usability, such as an image of a product. The interface
always displays columns that have primary and secondary importance, and you can choose
to hide the less important columns on small screens, for example, on mobile
devices.
