Configuring User Defined Column

Purpose

The User Defined Column is designed to enable user to add a 'blank' column.  This will enable users to send out data grids with a column that has a title, but the individual cells in that column will be blank.  This will allow anyone who receives the data grid to input data into the column.

User can easily format the grid and send it to those needing it, following these directions.
