- Select “Personnel” under “Data Tables in Your Plan”.
- Review the column titles listed. If you wish to include more information in your personnel table than listed, click the chevron next to “Personnel” in the left-hand pane.
- Select “Edit This Table’s Columns” from the fly-out.

- Add the column titles you wish to include from your incoming data by clicking ‘Add Column’.
