YOUR NEO COLUMNS IN A SMARTER ORDER – NEO Tip #5
 |
Out of the box, all NEO status-type columns are clustered left, and the important Date/Time column is way over on the far right. Reordering is surprisingly effective.
I find it interesting how even minor tweaks can make a big usability difference. I found moving Date/Time from the far right over to the left where (my eyes are usually pointed) instantly satisfying. And breaking up the narrow “status” columns on the left and pairing them with more complementary columns made them easier to spot. Here’s my column order You might want to consider re-arranging yours.
Columns I don’t show: Size: I only show it in Attachment view. How to reorder, select and resize columns To change order: Drag and drop the column into new position. To select columns: Right-click anywhere in header and choose. To resize: Grab the column separator on right side and drag.

Tom,
Brilliant tip about moving the date. Also love your website. I offer a similar email coaching/workshops programme to yours in the UK and Europe. Terry Johnstone pointed me at your website.
There might be an opportunity for co-operation, and happy to talk if you think it worthwhile.
Very best wishes, Monica
Thanks Monica.
Of course it’s applicable to Outlook as well. I think Outlook users are more used to configuring columns; I don’t see NEO users doing it much.
Yes, I’d love to chat with you and will send you an email to suggest times soon.
