Column Selector
Component Palette Icon:
The column selector component is conceptually similar to the Row Selector, except that instead of filtering rows, it filters columns from its output dataset. Each column from the input dataset is shown as a checkbox. As the user checks and un-checks columns, the output dataset has those columns added or removed. This is very handy for driving the Table and Classic Chart components.
Addition information on the Column Selector can be found on the Column Selector Component page
