Hello, I am trying to make a backlog page that will accept the table in the current view. the way it is done right now, is like this  
param1 = event.source.parent.getComponent(‘Column Selector’).Data\_in

system.nav.openWindow(‘WORK\_ORDER\_BACKLOG’, {‘queryData’ : param1})  
system.nav.centerWindow(‘WORK\_ORDER\_BACKLOG’)

It takes in the table and passes it through, when we do this it does not preserve the way the table looks. I want to be able to preserve the way the table looks any suggestions on how to do that?

You would have to pass in the table data and the table’s column attributes dataset. The column attributes dataset is in charge of how the table looks.
