Topic LCI-USG-0267, Last Updated 11/21/2025

When you select Column Compartment from the app's left-hand navigation panel, the page's middle panel populates with the options listed in the following table. Selecting any of these options populates the panel to the right with details or further options as described.

The app ensures that user-defined settings such as toggle selections and specified input values are retained across navigation events. This means that when you select options or specify values, those choices remain intact even when returning later after navigating away or closing the app. For any user-defined settings out of limits for the system, a red dot appears to the left of the middle panel option name.
