# Configuring Display Columns for Request Types

Certain information in a request can provide a useful summary-level description of the request. This can include information such as the request type, a description of the request, and a priority. For each request type, you can control which request columns can be displayed in the following pages:

- Request list portlets

- Request search results page

- Request drill-down pages accessed by clicking on request chart portlets

Figure 5-4. Display columns set in the Request Type window shows how the settings in the Request Type window control the columns that can be displayed on a request list portlet page.
