How do you know which column is the display column?

How do I change the display column?

Each table in Coda has a single display column that indicates that Coda will show information from that column in the doc if you reference a row.

For example, if you had a table of tasks, you would want the display column to be the whichever column contains the unique names of those tasks. That way, if you link to a specific task within a doc, Coda would show that task's unique name instead of another column in the row, like the status of the task.

The display column will have a bookmark icon to the left of the column's name. In the table below, the Task column is the display column.

You'll see the display column in a few places in your Coda doc. If you link to a row in the canvas of your doc, you'll see the display column as the text.
