There are three ways to access the Page Columns page:

  • Select Admin > WebApps in the Navigation pane, and click the Pages icon for a WebApp. Locate the page and click the Column Properties icon.
  • Navigate to the page in the WebApp where the column property is to be applied. Click Change Settings on the Site Toolbar, then select Design >Column Properties.
  • Navigate to the page in the WebApp where the column property is to be applied, right-click the column heading, and click Add or Edit (Control Name) if the column property already exists.
