How does one hide a column on a table in perspective? Lets say I want to hide id. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/inductiveautomation/original/3X/0/f/0f8d61c416ebe06609c40a1ba405493cc280bd7b.png) ---

By default, the Table will do its best to display your data without any input from you. If you want to start hiding columns, you have to explicitly state which columns you DO want shown. If you want to hide the `id` column, for example, then you would add a single entry into `Table.props.columns` and set the `field` property of this new column to "product\_name". This would result in a table which renders only one column, and that column will get its data from the `product_name` key for each row. ---
