You can configure columns in Zilliant CPQ to display or capture important object data in the following UI locations:

- Object list table
- Object line item table
- Price items table

In this topic, learn how to:

- [Add columns](/main/docs/customize-columns#add-columns)

- [Restrict column visibility by UI profile](/main/docs/customize-columns#restrict-column-visibility-by-ui-profile)
