With the new customizations in version 4.0, one of the things you can do easily is add another column to the Rack view.  For instance, you might like to show the site's length, or Site Class, or whether it has 50A service.  You can actually add as many columns as you want, but of course this reduces the amount of space for showing the dates in the Rack.

Here is an example of adding the Site Class field -- other Site fields can be added the same way.

1. Go to Maintenance /Advanced Customizations / Queries.

2. Click Add Query, and select List Query.

3. Enter a name, such as "Rack Columns"

4. Select "Sites" for the Base table.

5. Click "Quick-Add Fields"

6. Select the "Site Class" field in the Data Field column, and click the left-arrow button (or you can just double-click the Site Class field).  You should see it appear under Fields Selected as "Campsites:Attrib_Site_Use".

7. Click Done, and you'll see it in the Query Columns table.

8. Just to make it neater, select the line in the list ("Site Class") and click Edit Column, then change the Column Heading to just "Class", and select "Center" for the Align Text option.  Click Save / Close all the way out.

9. Click the Options button on the Rack, and in the list "Query to insert with additional site info" select the query name you just added.

Now you should see the extra column for Class in the Rack view.  If you want more columns, just edit the Query to add additional fields.
